The winners of the two 2017 editions of the Italian Council call for proposals are on display at MAXXI

MAXXI in Rome will exhibit the works of the winners of the first two 2017 editions of the Italian Council call for proposals, the project for the promotion of contemporary Italian art of the MiBACT’s General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity, as part of the REAL_ITALY exhibition.

Open from Feb. 19 to April 26, 2020, the exhibition showcases sculptures, installations, video works, performances, and photographs by some of Italy’s most esteemed contemporary artists: Alterazioni Video, Yuri Ancarani, Giorgio Andreotta Calò, Leone Contini, Danilo Correale, Nicolò Degiorgis, Flavio Favelli, Anna Franceschini, Eva Frapiccini, Alice Gosti, Margherita Moscardini, Luca Trevisani, and Patrick Tuttofuoco.

The goal of the project, as mentioned, is to support and promote Italian artists abroad and to increase public collections through the production of works by some of the major players on the national contemporary scene. The result is a reading of today’s Italy through the gaze of art, capable of recounting the different realities present on the territory in a fresco of our country between past and present, identity and memory.

The exhibition is curated by Eleonora Farina and Matteo Piccioni.
