AROUND ROME
Curated by Anna Isopo
Critical text by Martina Scavone
July 6–13, 2024
On Saturday, July 6, 2024, "Around Rome"—a major new exhibition promoted by Arte Borgo Gallery—opens to the public.
The exhibition is hosted across five prestigious Roman venues: Palazzo della Cancelleria Vaticana, Galleria della Biblioteca Angelica, Palazzo Velli Expo, Museo Venanzo Crocetti, and Arte Borgo Gallery; it is driven by a desire to contribute to the city's cultural development.
Conceived by Anna Isopo, the project aims to deepen the perception of contemporary art by expanding the dialogue between colors, materials, and forms—elements that establish a connection with history, the viewer, and the local territory.
It offers a profound narrative set against a backdrop of historical and cultural grandeur amidst Rome’s magnificent beauty. "Around Rome" serves as a catalyst for exploring themes and questions, allowing artists to convey their messages while showcasing their work to an international audience of enthusiasts and industry professionals. These exhibitions take place in some of the Eternal City’s most significant venues, creating an ideal fusion of historic heritage and contemporary art.
