Exhibiciones
MACRO – Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Roma is pleased to present CREATIVE COUPLES/when design is by four hands: a program of two-month-length design exhibitions in the museum’s space Area by creative couples from the Italian landscape.
First invited are German designers Catharina Lorenz and Steffen Kaz, who founded Lorenz * Kaz studio in Milan in 2001.
First event of the "Collezionismi" project dedicated to the investigation and speculation on the value, principles and perspectives of both public and private collections. The Berlingieri collection, started in the mid-sixties with a strong inclination towards minimalist and conceptual art, has been gradually enriched with works that retain a strong visual-analytic imprint.
Maloberti has designed for the Enel white room two installations where imagination and physical energy, stamina and speed, order and disorder, are compared and combined in a spectacular way.
Please note: the exhibition has been extended to 3 June, 2012.
The project MACROeo(electronicOrphanage) conceived by the artist Miltos Manetas, is a platform that focuses on new technologies and the possibilities opened up by new media.
The exhibition features works especially conceived for the MACRO. The title he chose, the Latin motto Sic transit gloria mundi, provides a clue about the topics explored by the artist: beauty, time, life and death, and about the characteristics of his work, which combines, as in an ancient allegorical representation, sacred and profane, seriousness and humor.
Please note: the exhibition has been extended to 3 June, 2012.
Pascale Marthine Tayou's work suggests a different and correct use of plastic bags, which have become emblematic objects of the contemporary human condition, a symbol of globalization, rampant consumerism, but also of the nomadic lifestyle that increasingly characterizes today's society.
The exhibition dedicated to Vettor Pisani, few months after his death, is the first appointment of the "Tributes", a focus on the artists that have shaped the historical roots of today's contemporary art.
MACRO/1:1projects ARCHIVE is an archive dedicated to young artists: an indispensable point of reference for research, open to the public and available to scholars and researchers. The initial core of the collection is formed by the material and the documentation collected by the Associazione culturale 1:1projects, given on loan to MACRO for a long-term period.
FOTOGRAFIA in collezione presents 35 works from Rome Commission: the FOTOGRAFIA Festival Internazionale di Roma’s section that, since 2003, commissions to Italian as well as international artists a phographic portrait of the city.
