UNA STORIA – Five artists tell a personal history of art
MACRO – Museum of Contemporary Art Rome
via Nizza 138, Rome – Italy
From April to December 2012
Curated by Luca Lo Pinto

From April to December 2012, MACRO – Museum of Contemporary Art Rome and >DEPART FOUNDATION are pleased to present “Una storia”: a cycle of five talks that rethink the classical artist talk format by internationally renown artists from different generations.
“Una Storia” seeks to identify unusual interpretations and alternative routes to discussing widely recognized and established “classics” of the history of Italian and international art. To this effect five protagonists of the contemporary art scene have been invited and their narratives offer not only contemplations on the history of art, but more importantly interests and points of reference for the protagonists of art today.
Using words, images, sound and video these fascinating and surprising narrations will be conveyed by each artist as five quick trips through history and time; five “histories of art”, balancing between an intimate and personal dimension and a more collective and familiar one.
