Could a TV Series Exhibition Merge Blockbuster and Research?

An opinion piece on Grandi Mostre #28 explores the potential of organizing an exhibition dedicated to TV series, arguing that such a show could combine blockbuster appeal with scholarly research. The author, Stefano Monti, suggests that TV series are a major cultural phenomenon, citing Squid Game as revealing South Korean social malaise and Servant of the People as anticipating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's political rise. A scientifically rigorous exhibition would need to balance commercial and cultural representation, address display and rights management issues, and could leverage technological innovations like NFTs. The piece also proposes simultaneous openings in multiple countries to enhance distribution. The article appears in Artribune's Grandi Mostre #28.
