Maxxi Museum's New Season: A Journey through Art, Fashion, and Architecture

The new season of the Maxxi Museum in Rome, the first under the presidency of Alessandro Giuli and the artistic direction of Francesco Stocchi, shifts focus towards the visitor, tuning into contemporaneity. The building by Zaha Hadid, both a work of art and a shell, will be the protagonist of the first major exhibition project: the show AMBIENTI 1956-2010. Environments by Women Artists II, which will open to the public on April 10 and will occupy the entire first floor of the museum and its outdoor spaces. A project conceived by the Haus der Kunst in 2023 where environments are three-dimensional and immersive works, activated by the audience and completed by human presence, in which women stand out as the absolute protagonists of this dialogue of arts. The cooperation with other museums and cultural institutions in Italy and around the world is one of the cornerstones of Maxxi's 2024: the result of a prestigious collaboration with the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is the monographic exhibition 'Giovanni Anselmo. Beyond the Horizon', starting from June 21. On the same date, a large interdisciplinary exhibition will also be inaugurated, curated and designed by the architect Italo Rota: 'The Abstract Vision Physical Experience of Abstract Thinking'. Architecture returns in the fall. In October, InMotion arrives, an exhibition curated by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, one of the most famous design studios in the world. November will see the grand return of fashion in the Museum's spaces with Memorabile: Hyperfashion, organized in collaboration with the National Chamber of Italian Fashion and curated by Maria Luisa Frisa. The exhibition proposes a complex constellation of objects: clothes, accessories, but also images to tell the present and the future of fashion. The season closes in December with photography, with a monograph by Guido Guidi, an author who has contributed to revolutionizing the way of relating to the contemporary landscape through over 350 photographs, almost all vintage and many never exhibited before. This year too, Maxxi dedicates the utmost attention to the valorization of talent with two prestigious awards: The Italian Architecture Prize, now in its fifth edition, is promoted and realized by Maxxi and Triennale Milano and The Maxxi BVLGARI PRIZE, a project for the support and promotion of young artists that has united Maxxi and Bulgari since 2018.
