Treccani opens contemporary art space in Rome's Palazzo Mattei di Paganica
On October 2, 2023, the Istituto della Enciclopedia Italiana will inaugurate Spazio Treccani Arte, a new contemporary art venue on the ground floor of Palazzo Mattei di Paganica in Rome's Jewish Ghetto. The space, free and open to the public, will debut with a survey exhibition showcasing works produced over Treccani Arte's five-year history, featuring over 30 artists including Giorgio Andreotta Calò, Giovanni Anselmo, Cao Fei, Alfredo Jaar, Marisa Merz, and Francesco Vezzoli. Treccani Arte, launched in 2018, has focused on artist multiples, limited editions (e.g., by Nico Vascellari), publications like the artist encyclopedia series and the 'Enciclopedia dell'arte contemporanea italiana' edited by Vincenzo Trione, and collaborations with institutions such as MAXXI. Starting in 2024, the space will host temporary exhibitions and special projects.
