Palazzo delle Esposizioni to Host Quadriennale 'Fuori' Starting October 30
Cesare Pietroiusti, President of Azienda Speciale Palaexpo and artist, outlines Palazzo delle Esposizioni's 2020 autumn program in an interview. The Quadriennale d'arte, titled 'Fuori', will open on October 30 across all museum spaces, described as the most advanced edition in recent history, featuring intergenerational contemporary Italian art, cinema, choreography, and design. Film screenings in 35mm, conferences, and educational workshops for youth will continue. Despite COVID-19, attendance has nearly returned to pre-pandemic levels, with a notable spike where visitors outnumbered those at the Colosseum. The exhibition 'Condizione Assange' by Miltos Manetas, exploring themes of confinement and media exposure, was highlighted as a standout. Pietroiusti calls for simplification of bureaucratic rules for public museums and recommends Spinoza's 'Ethics' as a seasonal read.
