“La forma del quotidiano”, curated by P.G. Castagnoli, Villa delle Rose, GAM – Galleria d’arte Moderna, Rome, 1994

Room

The work consisted in the installation of a classic plywood door in a room of Villa delle Rose, a building that was once a private residence.

The intervention alters the sense of the museum space, taking it back towards a domestic dimension: “the room that is created by the presence of the door – the artist says – is the protagonist of the work; there is a window, open to the garden, and springtime nature can thus enter… The visitor finds himself in a place that has been given back its lost dimension – as a dwelling place”.
