On the Spiritual Matter of Art was an interesting exhibition that we saw at MAXXI- the contemporary art space at Rome.
The theme was based around "artistic paths that seek another dimension, of absolute, between universal, material and immaterial, immanent and transcendent"
I also liked Greetings from Venice by Elisabetta di Maggio created a floor mosaic using real stamps from around the world. More information here

It included works of art by 19 contemporary artists with a selection of archaeological relics from the capital’s leading museums: the Vatican Museums, etc.

I liked the work of Shirin Neshat the Iranian artist. Her portraits of hands are incredibly evocative and intimate
There was an interactive work by Yoko Ono - visitors were encouraged to paint something in blue in a room devoted to prompting people to reflect on the issues associated with immigration via boats.
