In Rome on 11 December the Macro reopens, with visual arts, music and cinema
The main exhibition, Unaroma, curated by Luca Lo Pinto and Cristiana Perrella, is a collective exhibition that provides an image of the hybrid and constantly buzzing artistic scene of the city of Rome. The large room on the ground floor displays the works and interventions of over 70 artists of different generations and languages, while on the first floor the exhibition expands to host live interventions, concerts, DJ sets, conversations, workshops and screenings on a weekly basis.
The artistic director of Cristiana Perrella explained: “Macro opens with a first season of exhibitions, which is also a bit of a manifesto of what the Macro will be in the coming years, that is, an open museum, a museum that seeks to become a meeting place for different audiences, with different interests. Therefore a space that hosts not only visual art, performances, but also cinema, music, literature, and which looks at the needs of different audiences by trying to lower the threshold of access to the museum and not lower the tone of the contents”.
The scheduled exhibitions
The other exhibitions scheduled in this first phase enliven the various spaces of the museum. “One Day You’ll Understand. 25 years since Dissonanze” is dedicated to music, which retraces the stages of the festival which between 2000 and 2010 transformed Rome into an international crossroads for electronic music, digital culture and art. In another room you can discover the video “Sisters without a name” by Brazilian artist Jonathan de Andradewhile “Living in the ruins of the present” is dedicated to urban planning, an exhibition that reflects on some processes of regeneration of places, which over the years have contributed to the remodulation of the structure of Rome. Finally, the big news is the Macro cinema, a new room that will give space to the Roman cinema scene until April 6th.
