Witness artapes, the permanent video gallery the museum has created in cooperation with In Between Art Film, the screening programme of which focuses on art videos.
The exhibition series, namely Walking Around the Clock. An itinerary among the videos by the artists included in the collection, curated by Luigia Lonardelli and Monia Trombetta, sees the exposition build upon the themes of the exhibition entitled The Place to Be by focusing on the concepts of home and city, and starting from the two actions which are typically carried out in these two places: standing and walking.
Fifteen artists, included in the permanent collection of the MAXXI, explore their stance towards the world by use of videos, thereby highlighting the aspects which are linked to the identity of the places they inhabit: intimate artist studios, natural and artificial environments, and urban collective spaces.
