The aim of the exhibition project, curated by Massimo Mininni, is to enhance the local creative components of the 21st century
New Matter. Rome, new generations in comparison an experimental exhibition project curated by Massimo Mininni and composed of a critical investigation on contemporary art in Rome, hosted at the Gallery of Modern Art in via Francesco Crispi 24, in Rome from 17 December 2021 until 13 March 2022 (10 am-6pm). The goal is to enhance the local creative components of the 21st century through a careful and identity selection of the new art of the capital. The exhibition focuses in particular on the differences that have arisen in the different districts of the city, in which some artists have created their ateliers in former industrial areas, buildings and abandoned workshops, which have thus been transformed into new production centers. , engines of ideas and fulcrum of proposals that have brought the capital back to the center of the national cultural scene. And the last intervention that marks the end of a calendar of micro-personals is the intervention of Guglielmo Maggini: Flamboyant. An explosion of colors, a mise-en-scène that overwhelms the viewer in a party without a birthday boy. The author, Guglielmo Maggini, who turned thirty on the day of the inauguration of the intervention, leaves a huge polyurethane foam cake in the room dedicated to Post Ex and around it builds an intimate story made of mixed plastic materials, thoughts and apparently fairytale visions. The work belongs to the body of works Schermi, consisting of different masks contextualized within different scenarios. The work consists of a sculptural element – resin mask – and a two-dimensional support – PVC sheet – as its context. The masks and their competitions create installations that aim to recognize and extrapolate the facets of the artist’s personality so as to create disparate characters with specific characteristics. In this case the artist has decided to stage the most eccentric and showy character: Flamboyant. More than just a simple acrobat, this character highlights irony as a form of defense against the sometimes unjust and cruel events of reality. The context wants to reinforce this character to involve the viewer in the character’s habitat.
