Dal Futurismo all'Arte Virtuale

More than a hundred works recount the great revolutionary art of the 20th century that, in a dreamlike setting, dialogues with contemporary immersive and digital installations. Thanks to their innovative charge, new technologies are revolutionising the world of art and life, profoundly affecting our perception of reality.

One year after its inauguration, La Vaccheria celebrates this important anniversary by presenting Dal Futurismo all'Arte Virtuale (From Futurism to Virtual Art) to the public, with works from two private collections and collections from the Rosini Gutman Collection.

On display are the masterpieces of some of the great artists of the 20th century, along a path that goes from the most recognised avant-gardes to the present day. From Balla to Calder, from Modigliani to Duchamp, from Burri to Rauschenberg, passing through Dalì, Manzoni, Fontana, Boetti, Klein, Liechtenstein, Vasarely, Beuys, Warhol, Niki de Sainte Phalle, de Chirico and many others.

Dal Futurismo all'Arte Virtuale retraces the main stages of last-century artistic innovation through the originality of some of its major artists, different but united by the same ability to anticipate the future and an innate propensity for change.

Four differentiated and themed 'capsules,' Infinity, Avantgard, Pop, and Metafisica, place the visitor at the centre of the artistic experience for a greater emotional and immersive impact. Digital incursions, sound design, and unprecedented contemporary settings dialogue with a conventional art exhibition to demonstrate and confirm that today's meaningful themes have their roots in the 20th century, especially in the relationship between art and science, and how new digital innovations, right up to the use of AI in creative processes, pose continuous questions and food for thought.

With free admission, the exhibition is realised by Municipality IX with the support of Roma Capitale and the collaboration of Zètema Progetto Cultura. The organisational coordination is by Gianfranco Rosini for IconArs srl. The production of the artistic settings is by Kifitalia.
