Looking at our times through the prism of the moving image.

 

At Fondazione In Between Art Film, we foster dialogues between video, cinema, and performance, supporting artists and institutions whose visions cross the boundaries between creative disciplines.

Karimah Ashadu’s first institutional solo exhibition in the UK opens tomorrow at @camdenartcentre!

“Tendered” is the second project launched under UNISON, a biennial initiative promoted by Fondazione In Between Art Film to commission and produce moving image–based exhibitions in partnership with international public institutions.

Curated by @alessandro.rabottini and @leonardobigazzi, the exhibition includes the premiere of the video installation “MUSCLE” (2025) as well as a series of new sculptures conceived especially for the show that reference objects and environments within the film. 

“MUSCLE” is an intimate portrait of body builders in the heart of Lagos’ slums striving to attain a hyper-masculine ideal, continuing the artist’s research into issues of socio-economic independence and patriarchy within the context of West African culture and society. “MUSCLE” is commissioned and produced by Camden Art Centre, Fondazione In Between Art Film, and @rensoc, where the exhibition will be presented in autumn 2026.

In addition, the exhibition features a selection of earlier moving image works also set in Lagos—“King of Boys (Abattoir of Makoko)” (2015) and “Cowboy” (2022)—configured within discrete environments that extend aspects of the films into the viewing space. The show takes visitors on a journey through the range of Ashadu’s practice, from the intimate to the expansive, featuring works that form a cinematic narrative of bodies and land—an undulating scenario of urban subcultures, quotidian labour, and our relationship to nature.

“Tendered” is accompanied by the first reference monograph dedicated to the artist, edited by @abinoppst, with Rabottini and Bigazzi. Published by @moussemagazine, it features contributions from Karimah Ashadu; @myriambensalah; Leonardo Bigazzi; @ginabuenfeld; @martinclark76; @cjnwonka; Alessandro Rabottini; Bettina Steinbrügge; and @areseuwuoruya.

Our President and Founder Beatrice Bulgari has entered the 2025 edition of @ilgiornaledellarte’s Power 100. Congratulations, Beatrice!

Beatrice Bulgari is the founder and president of Fondazione In Between Art Film, which is based in Rome and yet embraces a nomadic vision. Dedicated to the language of moving images, the Fondazione supports international artists through commissions, acquisitions, and collaborations with leading institutions. Every two years, on the occasion of the Venice Biennale, it stages major exhibitions at the Complesso dell’Ospedaletto: “Penumbra” (2022), “Nebula” (2024), and a third chapter planned for 2026.

Since its inception in 2012, the Fondazione has supported artists such as William Kentridge, Orhan Pamuk, Shirin Neshat, Jonathas de Andrade, Iván Argote, Ali Cherri, Thao Nguyen Phan, and Karimah Ashadu, whose solo show “Tendered” opens at Camden Art Centre, London, on October 10, 2025.

In 2023, Beatrice Bulgari founded @eolofilmproductions, which is devoted to cinema and auteur filmmaking. Eolo debuted with ‘Hold on Missy! Isabella Ducrot Unlimited’ (Venice, 2024) and ‘Arsa’ by Masbedo (Rome Film Fest, 2024).

Eolo Film Productions has since co-produced ‘Un film fatto per bene’ by Franco Maresco, presented in the official competition at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival (2025), and ‘The Birthday Party,’ starring Willem Dafoe, which premiered at the 78th Locarno Film Festival.

It is now working on two new productions scheduled for 2025/2026: ‘Anime Trasparenti,’ an Italian-German co-production with Wim Wenders as Executive Producer, and ‘100 Questions/50 Lies’ by Philippe Parreno.
