Castello 925 is a cultural association and art gallery built around cre-activity: a 360-degree vision of creativity that connects disciplines and fosters collaboration. Through exhibitions, events, publications, and partnerships, we spark the imagination and inspire new ways of thinking across the visual arts, literature, and culture.
Currently On View
Nancy Azara + Darla Bjork | Sharing Legacy
30 July–20 September 2026
Castello 925, Fondamenta San Giuseppe 925
Featuring sculptures, paintings, and prints by the late feminist artist Nancy Azara alongside encaustic paintings and drawings by Darla Bjork. Although their practices developed from different sources—Azara exploring matriarchal archetypes and Bjork the human psyche—both artists share a neo-expressionist approach and an emphasis on gesture and mark-making. Curated by Jen Dragon and Fanny Perez. Together, the works create a dialogue between personal symbolism, material experimentation, and expressive form.
Gabriella Kirby | Future Light
Future Light presents mixed-media works on canvas, paper, and plaster exploring vulnerability, memory, generational trauma, and our connection to the natural world. Returning to her ancestral roots in the Veneto region, Gabriella Kirby brings together organic forms and gestural abstraction in works that move between darkness, fragility, and the possibility of future light. The exhibition looks across plant, animal, and human forms, focusing on their protective, communicative, and life-giving qualities. View Exhibition →

Traces in Dialogue: A Conversation with Jen Dragon and Luca Caldironi
We had the pleasure of discussing our latest book, Traces: Art, Psychoanalysis, and the Ethics of Unsaturated Space, with Jen Dragon, Director of Cross Contemporary Art Projects. The conversation moved across many of the book’s core themes: art, psychoanalysis, uncertainty, artificial intelligence, and the importance of preserving spaces where thought can emerge without being prematurely saturated by ready-made answers.

Traces: Art, Psychoanalysis, and the Ethics of Unsaturated Space
Traces: Art, Psychoanalysis, and the Ethics of Unsaturated Space, by Luca Caldironi, founder of Castello 925, explores the relationship between subjectivity, art, and contemporary culture. Drawing upon the work of psychoanalyst Wifred Bion, the book poses a fundamental question for our current time: What does it mean to think without seeking closure?
