The major group show launching MACRO’s new season conveys an image of Rome’s hybrid, diverse and generative art scene. 

Across different expressive languages—visual arts, music, cinema and performance—and with an intergenerational outlook, UNAROMA composes a tracking shot of the city filmed through an ideal green screen: a continuous narrative that moves through its cultural fabric, made of encounters between heterogeneous communities in constant ferment. 

If in cinema the green screen is a technique that allows multiple images to be layered, in the exhibition it becomes a common surface on which to compose and project a stratification of gestures, actions and visions by over seventy artists from different generations and practices. 

Designed by Parasite2.0, the display occupies the two large halls of the building by Odile Decq. Like a film that alternates moments of stasis and action, the exhibition unfolds in three parts: Set, Live and Off. 

MACRO presents itself as an experimental and welcoming space, celebrating the ability to design together and to contaminate one another. 

UNAROMA SET 

On the ground floor, Set takes the form of a wide green strip that runs through the space, along which the works—through painting, photography, video, sculpture and largely new installations—unfold in sequence. 

With works by: José Angelino, Micol Assaël, Elisabetta Benassi, Tomaso de Luca, Tomaso Binga, Paolo Canevari, Anouk Chambaz, Alessandro Cicoria, Giulia Crispiani, Pauline Curnier Jardin & Feel Good Cooperative, Jos de Gruyter & Harald Thys, Liryc Dela Cruz, Rä di Martino, Federica Di Pietrantonio, Isabella Ducrot, Theo Eshetu, Beatrice Favaretto, Grossi Maglioni, Diego Gualandris, Auriea Harvey, Emiliano Maggi, Andrea Mauti, Diego Miguel Mirabella, Sabina Mirri, Fiamma Montezemolo, Matteo Nasini, Lulù Nuti, Giorgio Orbi, Lina Pallotta, Nicola Pecoraro, Francesca Pionati and Tommaso Arnaldi, Gianni Politi, Agnes Questionmark, Marta Roberti, Andrea Salvino, Suzanne Santoro, Lele Saveri, Gabriele Silli, Lorenzo Silvestri, Nico Vascellari.

UNAROMA LIVE 

With Live, on the first floor, the green screen expands to occupy the entire space with scenic devices designed to host weekly live actions, concerts, DJ sets, conversations, workshops and screenings. Engaging a network of artists, collectives and curatorial and editorial platforms, each intervention leaves a trace of its passage through the museum, like a fragment of a collective film in constant becoming.

UNAROMA OFF 

The exhibition continues beyond the museum with Off, which spreads across the city by inviting independent Roman spaces to realize projects at their venues—with the museum’s support—during the months of the show: exhibitions, awards, performances and open studios. 

With: KENE, Lateral Roma, Porto Simpatica, Post Ex, Spazio In Situ, Spazio Mensa, Zoo Zone Art Forum.
