Thank you to everyone who joined us last week at the 2026 New York Gala, held at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building of the New York Public Library. The event brought together the Academy community in recognition and support of the essential role of the arts and humanities in our societies today.
This years’ Centennial Award, designed for the Academy by Roy Lichtenstein (1989 Resident), was presented to Suzanne Deal Booth @thegrandsuze —art historian, historic preservationist, and philanthropist; Fred Wilson (2020 Resident)—visual artist and Trustee Emeritus of the Academy; and Emily Wilson (2006 Fellow)—classicist, translator, and author.
The gala was co-chaired by Marilynn Davis @marilynn.davis and Mary Margaret Jones (1998 Fellow, 2020 and 2023 Resident) @marymargaretjjones , with Cary J. Davis serving as honorary chair. Board of Trustees Chair Calvin Tsao (2010 Resident) @calvintsao , and Academy President and CEO Peter N. Miller delivered remarks and the awards were bestowed by Kevin Keim @placenotes , founding director of the Charles Moore Foundation; Mary Frank, Trustee Emerita and art historian specializing in Renaissance Venice; and Charles Brian Rose, (1992 Fellow and 2012 Resident) Trustee Emeritus, and Professor of Archaeology at the University of Pennsylvania.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the gala co-chairs, honorary chair, and to the supporters whose generosity makes it possible for artists and scholars to pursue transformative work at the American Academy in Rome.

“They Make You Write Your Poems” was made of noise machines, solar-powered poems, felt computers, dance pads, and a machine dreaming in trip reports.
At Onassis ONX (@onassis_onx), artistic practices came together to explore poetry as a site of friction between human expression and automated language, reflecting on how bodies and computational systems sense and process meaning.
The exhibition featured works by Roberto Fassone with Sineglossa (@sineglossa), Ben Grosser (@ben.grosser), Melanie Hoff, Yafira Martinez (@electrocutelab), Metahaven (@metahaven), Allison Parrish (@allison.parrish), Riccardo Petrini (@richipetrini) and Lucia Rebolino (@luciarebolino).
The evening program unfolded through a panel discussion with Melanie Hoff, Yafira Martinez, Allison Parrish, Riccardo Petrini, and Lucia Rebolino, followed by a screening of Metahaven’s “The Feeling Sonnets (Transitional Object)”.
“They Make You Write Your Poems” was curated by Giulia Colletti (@collettigiulia) as part of @americanacademyrome’s second Italian Fellowship for Curatorial Research, in collaboration with and supported by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture (@creativita_contemporanea).
Thank you to all the artists and everyone who joined us.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for the opening of “Giorgio Griffa/Kamrooz Aram: Paintings.” The exhibition, which is curated by Ilaria Puri Purini @ilaria_puripurini, sets the painters Giorgio Griffa @fondazionegiorgiogriffa (b. 1936, Turin) and Kamrooz Aram @kamroozegar (b. 1978, Shiraz) in dialogue, continuing a conversation that was first begun in Turin when Aram was the 2024 Carla Fendi Foundation @carlafendifoundation Rome Prize Fellow at the Academy.
The event featured readings by Italian poets Silvia Bre and Carmen Gallo @carmen.gal , who was just awarded the Strega Prize for her recent book “Procne Machine.”
The exhibition will run through November 28, 2026, open on Fridays and Saturdays from 4 to 7 PM, at the AAR Gallery.

#FELLOWSINFOCUS: Jordan Rogers @ecastor_hercle
“Being in Rome provides the opportunity to visit spaces and recover memorial traces in the urban palimpsest; it is also fascinating to see how memories remain still today in parts of the city.”
Meet Jordan Rogers, the 2027 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Rome Prize Fellow in Ancient Studies at the American Academy in Rome. Rogers is a social and cultural historian of the ancient Mediterranean world, with a particular interest in the sociology of small communities and urbanism in antiquity. He is currently Assistant Professor of History at North Carolina State University
At the Academy, Rogers will complete his monograph, Neighborhoods, Neighborliness, and Urban Community in Republican Rome, the first book-length study of Rome’s neighborhoods during the Republican period. Drawing on ancient texts, archaeology, urban studies, sociology, and folklore, he will reconstruct the city’s communities “from below,” examining how practices and ideals of vicinitas, or neighborliness, shaped urban community, neighborhood identities, and local traditions, and became a source of conflict as rapid urbanization and emerging systems of administration challenged customary forms of neighborhood organization in the first century BCE.

The realization that all of Italy is doing the same thing right now: harvesting and pressing olives for the new season’s oil. It’s time sensitive, it’s urgent, it’s been passed down from grandparents, it’s a national collective effort. And it’s a beautiful thing to see, in farms big and small and private properties all over the country. This is a good year for olive oil, despite the crippling blight that many are grappling with, particularly in Puglia.
RSFP field trips take us to a variety of producers in the region, and this year our interns wanted to see a frantoio in action, so we took them to visit @iandp.evo in Canino, where owner Paolo Borzatta showed us how every step of the process is aimed at achieving the highest quality product. Giovanna Belelli guided us in a thoughtful tasting and a beautiful lunch was served afterwards featuring local cheeses and salumi, bruschette with the just-pressed elixir, and local wine.
Here’s a reminder to connect with your local producers: they deserve your attention, and you deserve to know where your food comes from and shake hands with those who made it all possible.

Onassis ONX (@onassis.onx) presents “They Make You Write Your Poems: Artistic Practices Amid Automated Cognition”, curated by Giulia Colletti (@collettigiulia) for the American Academy in Rome (@amacademyrome), in collaboration with, and supported by, the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture (@creativita_contemporanea). The exhibition gathers artists, poets, and designers who reflect on the relationship between embodied experience and machine cognition.
The exhibition features works by Roberto Fassone with Sineglossa (@sineglossa_), Ben Grosser (@ben.grosser), Melanie Hoff (@melanieh0ff), Yafira Martinez (@electrocutelab), Metahaven (@metahaven), Allison Parrish (@allison.parrish), and Riccardo Petrini & Lucia Rebolino (@richipetrini / @luciarebolino).
→ Roberto Fassone with Sineglossa, “And We Thought”. Raised on thousands of mushroom trips, an AI speaks like a spirit. The artist, its medium, gives body to what it dreams, as a lost Led Zeppelin trilogy.

→ Metahaven, “The Feeling Sonnets (Transitional Object)”. After Eugene Ostashevsky’s poems, words drift loose between languages and a plush red panda holds us across the gap.
@metahaven
→ Riccardo Petrini & Lucia Rebolino, “Pretty Deceitful Noise”. In the datasets, wind becomes a missile launch, rain the forging of swords. The room hears what the machine hears.
@richipetrini @luciarebolino
→ Yafira Martinez, “soft.computer”, “ribbon_logic”, “Pocket Oracle of Time”. A computer of lavender yarn that only knows how to wake, play, and dream. A poem behind a single button. A clock that shows the time only when it’s ready.
@electrocutelab
→ Melanie Hoff, “Dance Poem Revolution”. Each step pulls words from local histories of revolution of the location it is shown in. The poem prints on a thermal receipt, in a trace of a dance that happens only once.
@melanieh0ff
→ Allison Parrish, “Solar Powered Alba Generator”. Devices sleep until light finds them, then write an aubade, the troubadours’ plea against dawn, powered by the very sun the lovers lament.

It’s the last weekend to see “All That Changes You. Metamorphosis,” a video installation by Isaac Julien @isaacjulien (2016 Resident and 2023 New York Gala Centennial Medal honoree), at Galleria Borghese @galleriaborgheseufficiale , closing on October 25th.
Conceived as a reinterpretation of Ovid’s “Metamorphoses,” the exhibition adapts a ten-screen video work Julien produced in 2025 to fit the “Uccelliera” pavilion, originally built in the seventeenth century to house the Villa Borghese’s collection of exotic birds.
An artist whose practice is itself in constant transformation, Julien returns to a city that has helped shape his work. “Rome has been important to my thinking in ways that extend beyond any single project,” said Julien. “My time at the American Academy deepened my relationship with the city, and returning to Rome to present this work feels like a very special moment.”

#FELLOWSINFOCUS: Neeraj Bhatia @theopenworkshop
“I want to experience the city at the scale of everyday life—to pay attention to its spaces, rhythms, edges, and the ways people inhabit and adapt them. Moving through the city on foot or by running offers a different kind of architectural knowledge, one that comes from repetition, observation, and gradually becoming familiar with a place.”
Meet Neeraj Bhatia, the 2027 Lily Auchincloss Rome Prize in Architecture at the American Academy in Rome. Bhatia is an architect, urban designer, and educator whose work resides at the intersection of politics, housing, infrastructure, and urbanism. He is an Associate Professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, where he also serves as Director of the Urban Design Program.
At the Academy, Bhatia will examine housing typologies in Rome to understand how architectural frameworks can support the domestic commons. The research will analyze three key periods: ancient Roman housing (insulae), prewar, and postwar social housing developed through the Istituto Autonomo per le Case Popolari by architects such as Innocenzo Sabbatini, Ludovico Quaroni, and Mario Fiorentino.

“Giorgio Griffa / Kamrooz Aram: Paintings” opened last night at American Academy in Rome. The exhibition, which sets the painters Giorgio Griffa (b. 1936, Turin) and Kamrooz Aram (b. 1978, Shiraz) in dialogue, will be open from October 23 to November 28, 2026, on Fridays and Saturdays from 4:00 to 7:00 pm.
The painters Giorgio Griffa @fondazionegiorgiogriffa and Kamrooz Aram @kamroozegar (2024 Carla Fendi Foundation Rome Prize Fellow) met in 2024 in Turin, and this exhibition extends a conversation they began about the place and purpose of cultural tradition, painting as a measure of time and rhythm, and how gesture is traced and captured. The exhibition, curated by Executive Director, Galileo Week 2027, Chief Curator and Acting Heiskell Arts Director, Ilaria Puri Purini @ilaria_puripurini , addresses this ongoing dialogue on abstraction, reflecting on different approaches to ornament and decoration, presence and loss, margins and intimacy.
The American Academy is grateful to the exhibition lenders Alexander Gray Associates, New York @alexandergrayassociates , and Galleria Lorcan O’Neill, Rome @gallerialorcanoneill ; and the Fondazione Giorgio Griffa, Turin.
The project is part of the cultural programming of the exhibition Giorgio Griffa: Paths in the Forest at the Clark Art Institute @clarkart ; supported by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity (@creativita_contemporanea ) of the Italian Ministry of Culture under the Italian Council program (2025) @mic_italia .

Our harvest happened a little earlier than usual this year, as our 17 trees were bursting and the squawky parakeets were lurking nearby, threatening to destroy everything. Andrea and the Verdi were joined by RSFP interns, fellows, residents and fellow travelers in a fun and productive couple of days in spectacular October weather, the famous ottobrate romane.
Francis took stunning photos in his characteristic documentary style that we love, leaf blowers were cleverly deployed to remove foliage, and new friendships were forged, thanks to time spent outdoors gathering nature’s bounty. Andrea hauled the 700 kilos of olives to the press and brought back the prize the next day: 55 liters of liquid gold, to be used quickly and generously before it loses its peppery sparkle. This is what sustainability looks like here at RSFP. And when we run out? We know who to go to for more delicious local fresh olive oil: one of our wonderful partner farms.

We’re relaunching our Residents Up Close series by bringing back conversations with former Residents that were archived over the past year. We couldn’t think of a better way to start than by congratulating Christine Sun Kim @chrisunkim , the 2025 Henry Wolf Graphic Designer in Residence at the American Academy in Rome, on being named a 2026 MacArthur Fellow.
Announced on September 29, the 2026 MacArthur Fellowships recognize 20 artists, scholars, and scientists for their exceptional creativity and record of accomplishment in their fields. Kim’s work has been shown at MoMA, Tate Modern, and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul. It explores the politics of sound, language, and accessibility through drawing, performance, and time-based media.
We sat down with Kim last fall during her residency to talk about her experience at the American Academy, navigating Rome, access, tapping and other signs, and how she came to feel at home on the grounds.
