On November 6, 2026, Lisson Gallery announced that Marina Abramović’s ‘Historical Works and Transforming Energy’ opens at the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Rome on November 18, 2026. The exhibition, marking Abramović’s eightieth birthday, is curated by Shai Baitel, Andrea Tarsia and Abramović herself and spans landmark performances including Imponderabilia (1977), Balkan Baroque (1997) and The Artist Is Present (2010), alongside her ongoing Transitory Objects series. A second Rome project, Confession (2026), commissioned by Fondazione Alda Fendi – Esperimenti with Factum Arte, will be unveiled beneath the Arch of Janus on November 19, 2026. The exhibition remains on view until April 4, 2027.
Lisson steering an Abramović museum show into the Galleria Nazionale signals a push into Italian public institutions, where Anglo-American dealers still have thin footprints.
