Sky Arte's Artbox Features Picasso, MAXXI Street Art, and Masbedo
On Thursday, January 17, Sky Arte's Artbox series will air an episode covering three exhibitions. It begins with Picasso's Guernica preparatory cartoon for the tapestry now at the UN in New York, displayed at Padua's Museo Militare della Terza Armata alongside the original WWI armistice document. The show explores the artwork's creation involving Picasso, Nelson Rockefeller, and tapestry weaver Jacqueline De La Baume Dürrbach. Next, the episode covers MAXXI Rome's exhibition 'La strada. Dove si crea il mondo,' curated by Hou Hanru, featuring artists Robin Rhode, Boamistura, and OHT. Finally, at chef Carlo Cracco's restaurant in Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, artists Iacopo Bedogni and Nicolò Massazza (Masbedo) present 'Romans Roman (Hommage à Roman Signer),' a 24/7 installation with an empty dining table exploring unease.
