Marina Paris Explores Aldo Rossi's Legacy at Spazio Nuovo in Rome

exhibition · 2026-05-04

Marina Paris (born 1965 in Sassoferrato) presents a new exhibition at Spazio Nuovo in Rome, engaging with the work of architect Aldo Rossi. The show uses 1950s postcards, her own photographs, and collages as theoretical and aesthetic fragments. These elements metaphorically push toward new horizons of landscape, thought, and ideal urban and domestic reorganizations, balancing memory and desire. The practice of tearing destroys and reconstructs, enabling juxtapositions and new identities. This echoes Rossi's concept of collective memory, which highlights the complementary nature of the city's image—rarely coherent, ordered, or immanent, but simply seeking emancipation from the past, as critic Emanuela Nobile Mino writes in the accompanying text. The exhibition runs at Spazio Nuovo in Rome.
