Performance 'Art Will Never Die' at Galleria Nazionale di Roma
On March 5, 2018, the Galleria Nazionale di Roma hosted the performance 'Art will never die' by Elsa Agalbato and Fabio Sargentini, part of the exhibition 'Scorribanda' celebrating the 60th anniversary of Galleria l'Attico. The performance unfolded in the Sala delle Colonne and the Salone Centrale, where the exhibition's works were displayed. An initial video projected on a white curtain showed archival footage of 20th-century events like protests and military parades. The curtain then dropped, revealing dozens of performers waving flags reading 'Art Will Never Die' and chanting about art's immortality and perpetual freedom.
