With the great exhibition River of Forms, curated by Carlos Basualdo, the Philadelphia Museum of Art intends to celebrate the important donation of drawings received by Giuseppe Penone in 2019. Through a selection of almost 200 subjects, presented alongside works that mark the artist's career, the importance of drawing in Penone's artistic practice is documented, as well as the variety of techniques and materials used to make visible his way of understanding and feeling the world.

Until 24 December 2022, the La Tourette convent is hosting a new series of creations by Giuseppe Penone. Invited to stay there by the Dominican friars, the artist meditated on and retraced the building designed by Le Corbusier as if it were a big tree, the crypt its roots, the pillars its trunks, the stone incrustations of the elevations its leaves. Using Le Corbusier's 63 shades of architectural polychromy, Penone created a sequence of frottages of the different parts of the structure, which also resulted in a limited-edition book: Le Bois Sacré du Couvent de la Tourette. The exhibition, curated by Father Marc Chauveau, is an opportunity to see other well-known works by Penone that, in dialogue with the spaces of the convent, are enriched with new and intense meanings.

Giuseppe Penone's sculptures return to dialogue with the architecture of the past in the unique scenario of the Baths of Caracalla, for an event promoted by the Special Superintendence of Rome, directed by Daniela Porro, and curated by Francesco Stocchi: four bronze trees (Identity, Triplex, Ideas of Stone - Elm and Ideas of Stone - Cherry) installed in the pool of the ancient natatio, which, set within the suspended and timeless atmosphere of the monumental ruins, invite to reflect on the emblematic relationship between man and nature, space and time.
The exhibition is produced by Electa, that publishes a new edition of Penone's writings for the occasion.

At the plenary session on May 18, 2022, Giuseppe Penone was elected among the foreign associate members of the Académie des Beaux-Arts of the Institut de France, for the sculpture section.

Located in the Bosco della Memoria (Wood of Memory) created in Trucca Park in memory of the victims of Covid-19, lndistinti confini (Indistinct Boundaries) is the new permanent installation by Giuseppe Penone, donated to the City of Bergamo by the Giulio and Giovanna Sacchetti Foundation. Conceived as a place of reflection and memory, the work is part of the artist's poetics, which breaks down the boundaries between the human, mineral and plant worlds. In a series of cross-references and analogies between the white and veined Carrara marble and the bark and branches of the Himalayan birch trees that make up the installation, Penone with Indistinct Boundaries shows "the flow of matter and life that flows indistinctly through the body of the world".
