#Contemporary Rome Art Award Vol. 1

November 15, 16, 17

International Contemporary Art Exhibition – 2nd Edition (2019/2020)

#Contemporary is a project presented as part of the fourth edition of Rome Art Week 2019:

Conceived and curated by art historian Ilaria Giacobbi, this group exhibition highlights the vibrancy of the contemporary art scene while simultaneously serving as a socio-anthropological exploration of art—viewed as both a reflection and a manifesto of its era.

Part of the second edition of the #Contemporary Rome Art Award project, the exhibition regards art as a tool for liberation, expression, and creation. It speaks to us—and about us—in our own time, offering a conscious reconstruction that pursues a socio-anthropological perspective. The featured artworks have been selected to coexist within the space and time of Palazzo Velli; arranged with visionary flair, they aim to compose a symphony of pieces—a "macro-work" exhibition dedicated to contemporary art.

The project is a call to artists willing to go beyond mere display and become part of a conscious, collective act of re-creating the new world—a world addressed in their work either explicitly or through a critique of the old. With the eye of a participant-observer, the artist-curator skillfully orchestrates the construction of this "work of works." Like the tiles of a mosaic, the pieces are artfully brought together, grounded in the understanding that freedom is achieved through unity. Text by Dr. Jasmine Di Benedetto
