MoRE Museum's Unrealized Art Projects on Display at MAXXI Rome

The MAXXI museum in Rome is hosting 'WunderMoRE,' an exhibition of unrealized art projects from the MoRE digital archive, on view in the Carlo Scarpa foyer. The show features works by artists from the 20th and 21st centuries that were never built, including Paolo Scheggi's 'Cannocchiale Ottico Percorribile,' designed for the 1968 Milan Triennale but never fabricated. The exhibition is the first 2018 installment of THE INDEPENDENT program, curated by Elena Motisi, Giulia Ferracci, and Simone Ciglia under artistic director Hou Hanru. MoRE, founded in 2012, won the i8 initiative at ArtVerona, earning this exhibition. The show explores wonder (Wunder) as a theme, linking to historical Wunderkammer and contemporary conceptual art. Other projects include Cesare Pietroiusti's 'Finestre,' Jonathan Monk's 'Small proposal book,' and Jeremy Deller's 'Proposal for the Olympic Park Gateways' (2012), imagining a Stonehenge-like structure for the London 2012 Olympic Park.
