institutional · 2026-05-04

Giorgio de Finis discusses the 2019 programming for MACRO Asilo, which will feature a daily schedule averaging 200 monthly events including ateliers, lectures, self-portraits, performances, video series, and forums. The museum operates on an annual budget of €400,000 from the administration, supplemented by voluntary contributions. De Finis emphasizes that the project is a collective effort to create a space where art and society intersect, offering opportunities to both emerging and established artists. He refrains from evaluating the past year until the 15-month cycle concludes, and avoids specifying personal achievements, framing the initiative as an all-or-nothing endeavor.
