The historic Palazzo Fruscione, located at the heart of Salerno, Italy, will turn into a creative hub on October 18, 2025, hosting the 6th edition of the Salerno Biennial of Contemporary Art (The B.A.C.S.). The international art event dedicated to the topic of “A.I. vs. A.I. – Artificial Intelligence vs. Artistic Intelligence” is focused on the unique intersections of creativity and technology in the contemporary art landscape. If you are concerned with the dynamics of human expression in the digital age, The B.A.C.S. is something you definitely don’t want to miss this fall.
The Biennial of Contemporary Art in Salerno As an Important Cultural Bridge
The main philosophy of The B.A.C.S. 2025 is to bridge cultures and geographies, creating a global artistic community under one roof. This year, the Salerno Biennial features works by many talented artists from around the world. Creatives from Italy, Romania, Germany, France, Ukraine, Chile, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the USA, China, Taiwan, South Africa, Australia, and other countries will present their art, contributing to the genuinely international coverage of The B.A.C.S.
Programming of The B.A.C.S. 2025
The upcoming Salerno Biennial promises lots of exclusive art-related events, with tightly packed programming suiting all tastes and interests. A special highlight is a guest of honor, the Neapolitan artist Enza Monetti, with her live performance titled “Messenger.” Monetti is internationally known for groundbreaking work with matter, experimenting with its unification and separation as part of the creative process.
Among other important events are several art talks, including “AI-ART” by Professor Gennaro Cuccurullo and the presentation of Professor Sergio Curtacci’s new book, “Museums in Evolution: New Digital Frontiers.” Besides, all artists will offer their unique perspectives on the evolution of art and its dynamic role in the increasingly technologized society.
The Prize Jury for this year’s Biennial of Contemporary Art in Salerno deserves a separate mention. In 2025, the jury is chaired by the famous Italian artist Lorenzo Chinnici. Born in 1942 in Sicily, Chinnici has covered a long professional path to recognition, with his name’s broad coverage in 2,000+ national and international magazines and a portfolio of 300+ exhibitions around the world. The Award Ceremony will be held on October 25, 2025, 7pm.
The B.A.C.S. 2025 became possible due to the partnership with Ravello Foundation, Professor Rino Cuccurullo, Taimeless Art Gallery, Galleria Caribè, Miart Gallery, and other art activists and institutions from around the world. It is curated by the Italian architect and artist Giuseppe Gorga. All the participants share a common vision of innovation that drives events like this, making art more democratically accessible and emotionally resonant for audiences.
