other · 2026-04-27

Check Point Taverna, a conference series promoted by Spazio Taverna—a project of EIIS (European Institute for Innovation and Sustainability) aimed at bridging creativity and innovation—held its third volume, titled 'Generazione Curatori,' at Palazzo Taverna in Rome. The conference focused on the role of curators in the contemporary era, featuring a panel of curators active in Rome: Giuliana Benassi, Laura Cherubini, Teodora de Robilant, Paola Ugolini, and Saverio Verini. Spazio Taverna is located within Palazzo Taverna, which in the 1970s housed the renowned 'Incontri Internazionali d'Arte' promoted by Graziella Lonardi Buontempo, featuring artists such as Joseph Beuys, Jannis Kounellis, and Andy Warhol. The artistic direction of Spazio Taverna is led by Ludovico Pratesi, with programming designed as immersive experiences where space and time become protagonists. Check Point Taverna is inspired by Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, symbolizing a threshold for dialogue and reflection. The podcast of the 'Generazione Curatori' conference is available on Spreaker. This event follows 'Roma Crits,' the second Check Point Taverna appointment dedicated to art criticism in Rome.
