The Street. Where the World Is Made

THE STREET. WHERE THE WORLD IS MADE

More than 140 artists and over 200 works to compose the multicultural, polyglot, colorful, scary, stimulating, deafening story of the streets of the whole world, the real great laboratory for discussion, creation, comparison, where the contemporary era is invented

7 December 2018 - 28 April 2019 www.maxxi.art | #TheStreetAtMAXXI

Rome. 6 December 2018. They took to the streets with invasions, surprises, disturbances, break-ins, rebellions; they have involved people, communities, have offered new points of view. Starting in the 1960s, it was the artists who believed that the road was the modern intellectual, social and political battlefield. From the 7th of December 2018 to the 28th of April 2019, MAXXI dedicates to them all, but also to architects, urban planners, and designers, The STREET. Where the world is made. The exhibit is curated by Hou Hanru together with the curatorial and research teams of the museum and transforms MAXXI into an intense and somewhat chaotic street scene.

More than 200 works from more than 140 artists to describe a space that is not only a fundamental manmade infrastructure, but a place crossed by multiple meanings, sometimes victim of visual and physical bombardment - signs, advertising, surveillance cameras, garbage – a place where shared practices and new technologies are experimented, and a showcase of projects stemming from the needs of the communities. The main partner is Enel, the Fondazione MAXXI’s first private partner, which has chosen to support this exhibition in particular due to its extraordinary cultural and research value, offering free admittance to a programme of seminars with architects, journalist, philosophers and artists.

With THE STREET, MAXXI becomes a street-museum, capable of combining works, actions, events and artistic, architectural, urban and technological research, conceived by an international creative community, expanding the study already conducted in 2017 for the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture of Shenzhen with which the MAXXI team collaborated, on the most outstanding artistic experiences, that have reinterpreted the functions and identities of the street from the last two decades. The museum becomes a spokesperson for a reflection on the future of urban life and civil society, and on the function of artistic and cultural institutions.

Site-specific projects, performance, and transdisciplinary events are part of an exhibition organised based on themes - public actions, daily life, politics, the community, innovation, the role of the institution - fundamental for understanding the new functions and identity of the modern-day street. Starting from the belief that this space is the place where the world is created, it is analysed as a manifesto of contemporary life, a scenario, and a privileged point of view, a landscape in which the creative community and citizens give life to a new community and a new world of urban creativity.

STREET POLITICS (Resistance, Protest, Occupy, Manifest, Feminism and the Carnivalesque, etc.) is the main theme of the first part of the exhibition in which the street is described not only as a place of celebration and parties, but also a space in which a voice is given to social tensions, an arena of protest and resistance to control by power. A large wall will show works such as those by Andrea Bowers composed of drawings and anti-racial protest print covers, the large canvas Tutto il resto è noia by Andrea Salvino whose research is often dedicated to the dark and violent sides of recent Italian history; the feminist collages of Marinella Senatore who has made city parades one of the typical traits of her research, Demonstration Drawings by Rirkrit Tiravanija and The Devil You Know a five-pointed star composed of flashing police cars of Kendell Geers, an artist who has dedicated all of his work to political and social protests since the 1980s. On the other hand, Yang Jiechang and Pak Sheung-Chuen demonstrate memories and reflection on the 1989 event of Tiananmen and the Umbrella Movement for democracy in Hong Kong four years ago; and also Sam Durant that, with Proposal for Public Fountain, offers a possibility to reflect upon sociopolitical and cultural issues of the American history by intepreting in a very personal manner the notion of public monument, whereas Moe Sat, with cuts made on

the silk of tipical Burmese umbrellas which are part of his work Parasol Alternative, creates a metaphor for the unstable condition of the people from Myanmar. A fundamental role in the entire exhibition is attributed to the medium of video, the channel through which we look at the world today, an ideal vehicle for narration and at the same time a device for creating space, a tool for mapping and re-organizing the urban environment, the primary interface between public and private. Among those related to the theme of protest are Walked The Way Home by Eric Baudelaire, Angry Sandwich People by Chto Delat and O Levante The Uprising by Jonathas de Andrade.

The GOOD DESIGN (Innovation, Limitation, and Freedom) nucleus includes works that depict the street as the ideal platform where to experiment with technological innovations related to communication, life, and mobility. The street has shared approaches and knowledge that have made not only a new form of design possible but also new conditions of environmental and social sustainability. The works related to this area include Ciclomóvil by Pedro Reyes and the Velodreams by Patrik Tuttofuoco prototypes for a new form of sustainable city vehicles, and among others videos by Carsten Nicolai future past perfect and Cao Fei RMB City. Related to this theme, we also find Cars by Artists, a giant wall of images that collects the TOP50 artistic reflections on the protagonist of the road: the automobile. Starting with Andy Warhol’s 1979 creation for BMW, this collection includes the versions of 40 international artists of an epochal icon regarding mobility, social status, and imaginary. Olafur Eliasson, Lucy + Jorge Orta, Nam June Paik, Paola Pivi, Erwin Wurm, Sisley Xhafa and many others give us back the mysticism of mobility, the socio-economic critique, the coexistence between technology and do-it-yourself, the irony and the dimension of creativity.

COMMUNITY (Immigration, Minorities, Diversity, Love and Living Together) brings together works in which the road is the fundamental node for the development of a shared conscience, the laboratory in which to redefine boundaries and characters of minorities, or - in the light of recent migratory phenomena - rethink the instruments of reception and protection. Here we find works such as the high wall painted by the collective Boa Mistura, explicitly designed for the MAXXI spaces, and typical of their research linked to the communities and liveability of the city spaces, or the "social" benches in the shape of a circle of Jeppe Hein’s Modified Social Benches. Also the videos by Kimsooja, Zhou Tao, Kim Sora, Paradox of Praxis 5 by Francis Alys, and Niagara by Mark Bradford.

The street is an essential part of everyday life. It is a place of work, recreation, and food. There are many functions concentrated in this place, and for this reason, it has been the object of creative intervention by artists and architects who have interpreted it as an extension of domestic life. Around the theme EVERYDAY LIFE (Eat, Work and Exchange, Home/Homeless…) rotate not only works that express all of this, but also works that show how life in the street can assume the character of marginalization and social exclusion. One of the works related to this though is MOBESE (Gold Camera) by Halil Altindere, that ironically recalls the control operated by surveillance cameras, Flavio Favelli’s neon signs, which are the result of assemblies that transform the original advertising function, Jimmie Durham’s Streets of Rome, a sculpture made up of materials found on the street and collected. Together with these are the videos by Adel Abdessemed, Francis Alys, Iván Argote, Marcela Armas, Fang Lu, Mark Lewis, and Jill Magid.

Around the theme INTERVENTIONS (Walk, Play and Getting lost…) rotates the video works of more than 30 artists including Allora & Calzadilla, Cao Fei, Martin Creed, Jean-Baptiste Ganne, the collective Ha Za Vu Zu, David Hammons, and many others; works that show how thanks to the experience of artists of the 1960s and 1970s, modern artists have considered the street as a privileged context where to experiment more ordinary and more complex actions, and investigate the sensation of loss inherent to the urban dimension.

The New Pompidou project video by Simon Fujiwara and Work in Public Space by Thomas Hirschhorn, The Road Show by Chim↑Pom and Riding Modern Art by Raphaël Zarka give voice to THE OPEN INSTITUTIONS (Street As Museum, Museum as Street) or how the museum has adopted characteristics of the street, bringing within it experiences, works and research conceived for the urban space. In parallel, the museum itself has become a street, losing in part its identification as a place of protection of a common heritage, because today it is proposed as a sharing place, in which events alternate and events take place. The MAXXI is designed as an urban connector, the ideal place where to experiment and implement this new type of open institution.

The last theme with which the exhibit deals with is MAPPING (Planned / Unplanned, Built / Unbuilt), which highlights the common characteristics between contemporary artistic research and architectural - urban planning, today characterized by vertical projects, elevations, underpasses, futuristic or utopian crossings, often in contrast with the built space and the urban utopia of the road as an authorizing element. Unavoidable, this theme is also related to the issue of the flow of humans and goods that in the street find one of the most obvious problems. Among the works related to these themes are Free Post Mersey Tunnel an untidy structure composed of metal pipes by Rosa Barba, or In extremis (Fragments of Death) the asphalt floor studded with camouflage forms of cats run-over by cars buried in the highways by Zhao Zhao as well as the videos by Daniel Crooks, Map Office, and Zhu Jia. Two timelines accompany the exhibition path giving the opportunity to look at the street from a historical point of view, further explore the theme: RETHINKING THE CITY which tells its evolution from an architectural and urban point of view, an itinerary that, from the late 19th century, arrives at post-modernist visions that includes, among others, historical images, the Piano per Algeri by Le Corbusier, images from Las Vegas Studio (1966-71) from the archive of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, the Sistema disequilibrante by Ugo La Pietra and No-Stop City (1970-1974) by Archizoom. Instead dedicated to artistic research from the sixties to the nineties of the twentieth century, the crucial period for the formation of the current vision is the timeline STORIES OF THE STREET in which documentary materials become a series of comic stories created for the occasion by Liu Qingyuan, all dedicated to the emblematic events of some of the protagonists of these practices including Vito Acconci and Daniel Buren.

A video review accompanies the exhibition in the museum’s video gallery and a cycle of talks, also provides a series of artistic interventions outside the museum and a calendar of performances commissioned for the occasion, all with free admission. A specific site work by Barbara Kruger and the works Ai nati oggi by Alberto Garutti, Untitled (Green Woman on the Traffic Light) by Anna Scalfi, Don’t Miss a Sec’. by Monica Bonvicini and Chiaroscuro by Alfredo Jaar are added to Liu Qingyuan’s newly produced images like wood- block prints, that recounts a narrative of historical artistic interventions in the global art history from 1960 to 2000.The performances will be held for the entire duration of the exhibit from 7 December 2018 to 14 April 2019. Jeremy Deller starts on 7, 8 and 9 December with How to Leave Facebook in which thousands of posters/flyers will be distributed in various areas of Rome, from the Testaccio market to the Colonna Gallery explaining how to protect the privacy on Facebook profile. In March, Lin Yilin presents the new performance The back (working title) designed for the exhibit, while in April the group OHT presents Little Fun Palace, a caravan that will occupy the streets of the Quarticciolo and Tor Tre Testa neighbourhoods, hosting meetings and debates open to the public.

The exhibit is accompanied by a catalogue-book edited by Hou Hanru and the MAXXI curatorial and research team, published by Quodlibet, a mini-encyclopaedia that explores the subject of the street, with Book 1 designed as an introductory manual and anthology, and Book 2 composed as “visual” books dedicated to the seven themes addressed by the exhibition.

THE STREET. WHERE THE WORLD IS MADE 7 December 2018 - 28 April 2019

INTRODUCTION Giovanna Melandri, President Fondazione MAXXI

Anaesthetized inside the shared yet lonely sphere of the social media. Discouraged from direct participation in politics. Idle from the overuse of technology. Unaware of the control over needs, consumption and even our desires exerted by ever less recognizable and identifiable forces. We are all building, as protagonists and as spectators, a historical era that deeply impacts the functions and the rules of democracy as it is commonly understood, and the vision itself of life. In this magma, The Street. Where the World Is Made does not suggest we take a leap backwards, into a pattern of habits and bonds with the past. It indicates quite the opposite and investigates a place, a habitat, where we can discover new opportunities, other expressions of civic collaboration and life together, and other plans for a sustainable future. This exhibition, conceived and realized by Hou Hanru, with the whole team of curators who shape MAXXI each and every day, is a crucial juncture in its exhibition and cultural path. On this path, in 2014, the pioneering project Open Museum, Open City, dedicated to Rome’s complex urban nature, left its mark. Today, with The Street. Where the World Is Made, artistic research and the coming together of ideas open up wide and focus on the primitive and irreplaceable theater of the human dimension, beyond every latitude. The heart of creativity. A fertile terrain for emotional exchanges. A bulwark against the dispersal of sentiments. A field for the development and spread of civic battles. A grid for innovation and a society to be regenerated. MAXXI becomes a street-laboratory of resistance and freedom, perhaps it would be better to say liberation, in an ambitious exhibition that goes against the flow, offered up to the curiosity of a transversal public. A hundred or so artists from the international scene, and with them architects, urban designers, scientists, scholars of mass behavior and political doctrines bring not only site-specific works but site-specific ideas for our, your, open museum space, intrinsically mindful of the evolutions (and regressions) of the social pact in this global era. Art, architecture, photography, video, performance, film festivals, even a catalogue thought of as a small multi-volume encyclopaedia. The Street. Where the World Is Made is the segment of an artistic and civic research that we will pursue. An exhibition to be explored with complete freedom of circulation and interpretation. So go down into the street. Together with the artists.

THE STREET. WHERE THE WORLD IS MADE 7 December 2018 - 28 April 2019

Hou Hanru, Artistic Director Fondazione MAXXI and curator

A few days ago, I had dinner with an artist friend from Los Angeles in the Ghetto area of Rome. During the dinner, he told me a story about the mother of his Italian friend going to Los Angeles. The lady, with her son, arrived in LA and stayed in a house in Beverly Hills. She had hardly arrived when she decided to go out by herself to take a walk in the city in spite of her son’s warning that people there usually did not take walks on the city streets. Of course, she got lost. Her son did everythingi he could to find her, including calling the police for help, but failed. Hours later, a luxurious sports car stopped by the gate. The lady was brought back by a celebrity, Quentin Tarantino! She had absolutely no idea who Quentin Tarantino was! A small tragedy ended up being a small comedy. Thank God! Afterwards, a friend of mine, a Chinese artist from Chongqing who has been living in LA for the past five years, sighed: “I hate living in LA. There’s nowhere to walk, no street life!” The lady and my friend come from Italy and China, and have spent most of their lifetime on the street, enjoying mingling with other people. Their private life is never detached from the public realm. Coming to an “American city” like LA, they have to face an inevitable cultural shock: no street walking! This makes them wonder what the good life really means. To be able to walk on the street, or to not be able to do any walking? To bump into ordinary people and chat with them, or to be “secured” by a car-driving celebrity? In fact, they are not the only ones who are intrigued by the absence of street life in the city. There have been a whole series of debates on the issue—most famously launched by researchers and activists like Jane Jacobs in her now classic book The Death and Life of Great American Cities.1 And on the other side of the Atlantic, the Situationists, upset by the postwar rise in consumerism and the mechanization of urban life, obsessively and joyfully insisted on practicing drifts (dérives), embracing the pleasure of getting lost and of astonishment. Inspired by an anonymous graffiti that read Ne travaillez jamais!, they argued that good life came from streets tottering with all kinds of unexpected discoveries of strangers and strange things. From there, they launched attacks on the new order of urban life and the mode of consumption represented by the Society of the Spectacle, Capitalism and its political system. This brought them to attack Modernism’s vision, value, and the order of life in general. All these debates were precursors of the revolutions that took place around 1968, when a great part of the world faced the claims for freedom and justice represented by the student and working class movements from Paris to Mexico City, anti-war movements from New York to Tokyo, and the Civil Rights movement across the United States and resonated everywhere. The oppressed and silenced majority of the populations now took to the streets and turned them into battlefields for a better world. The world now appeared to be much more open and diverse. Not only could individuals now enjoy more freedom of speech and choice. More importantly, more democratic and humane visions and projects of society became a common goal for the people to pursue. And the street became a laboratory for experiments to innovate our life world by deconstructing dogmas and rules imposed by the economic, cultural, political and urbanistic machine of Modernity. We were finally aware again: the revival of the street, and its life in open forms, are the most fundamental needs of humanity! If the city is a living body, then the streets are its arteries through which blood and energy are generated and circulate. Movements, meetings and exchanges among people are the most vital elements in keeping the city alive. This awareness becomes even more vitally important in our time, the age of global digital communication in which the virtual world tends to replace a great part of the real world. Social life is increasingly reduced and even locked into the space of “social media” in which people meet each other behind screens and cease to share their ideas face to face and do things shoulder to shoulder.

“Communication” appears to be instantaneous. The Internet becomes the new street, while the established forms of public spaces tend to disappear due to a decline in places for physical encounter. So how can we envision the upcoming “urban life”? What is the real meaning of being alive? Talking about the emergence of “smart cities,” in which almost everything from building design, ecological conditions, traffic and even every detail of daily behavior are programmed, secured and monitored through various digital devices, from huge computer terminals to handphones via digital networks. The powerful ones—technological, economic and political “masters,” namely large corporations and governmental institutions—are now controlling all the details of our lives. Our urban life tends to become a “prescriptive one,” as Richard Sennet has pointed out. Can we imagine and create a “coordinative smart city” which maintains the possibility of openness and freedom in our encounter with others, with the world at large, or taking life in our hands?2 The time has certainly come for us to go down to the street again. Walk and get lost, encounter surprises and ponder on these questions. Eventually, let’s try not to be “prescribed.” Then, we may better understand the meaning of living, and enjoy living, again and more!

PROGRAM

PERFORMANCE | 7-8-9 December 2018 | Jeremy Deller How to Leave Facebook Mercato di Testaccio, Pigneto, Galleria Colonna, metro C – free entrance Thousands of posters/flyers explaining how to delete one’s Facebook profile are distributed in the urban space. This action, which was carried out in London and Liverpool in March 2018 following the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the involvement of Facebook in the election of Donald Trump as president of the USA, aims at raising awareness on the topic of privacy and the sale of personal information to support a sort of “surveillance capitalism” based upon the collection of personal and behavioural data and its commercialization

TALK | 8 December 2018, 6:00 p.m. | Eppur si muove. L’abbraccio Museum galleries – free entrance up until the capability is reached Eppur si muove is a traveling project on street performance that comes from two intentions: flowing and transforming. To make the daily gesture flow in the performative act, from one place to another, transforming body, thought and space. Eppur si muove relates different places through three performances spread throughout the city: The Academy of France in Rome – Villa Medici, the Auditorium Parco della Musica, and MAXXI, to which the theoretical and practical reflections of dancers, artists, and poets are associated. With Alessandro Sciarroni, artist, Marta Ciappina, dancer, and Anna Lea Antolini, curator Produced by Cro.me – Cronaca e Memoria dello Spettacolo for R.I.SI.CO. in collaboration with Accademia di Francia a Roma – Villa Medici, Fondazione Musica per Roma – Auditorium Parco della Musica with Grezzo and with the support of MIBAC – Direzione Spettacolo dal Vivo. Attività di mediazione culturale curated by Lara Eva Stasi and Giulia Pesole

TALK | 31 January 2018, 6:00 p.m. | NOURISHING THE CITY. BEYOND THE STREET FOOD Franco La Cecla in conversation with Umberto Montano and Chef Kotaro Noda MAXXI Auditorium | Free entrance thanks to Enel Franco La Cecla, anthropologist, Umberto Montano, President of the Mercato Centrale in Rome and Michelin starred chef Kotaro Noda, will discuss how the relationship between the kitchen and the land is changing with respect to the irreversible global revolution we are witnessing.

TALK | 7 March 2019, 6:00 p.m. | FROM THE STREET TO THE DIGITAL PLATFORM. PROTEST IN THE INTERNET AGE Marco Damilano in conversation with Andrea Salerno MAXXI Auditorium | Free entrance thanks to Enel Marco Damilano Director of the weekly magazine l’Espresso and Andrea Salerno Director of La7 TV, will debate on the generation that launched a cultural revolution in 1968, starting from protests and street demonstrations. During the meeting we will ask ourselves how the protests are changing starting from the radical change of political, cultural and protest organization in the digital age.

PERFORMANCE | 21 March 2019 | Lin Yilin. The back Place and time TBD | free entrance Lin Yilin presents in Rome a new performance created specifically for the exhibition. Through an action that will take place in the historical centre of the city, the artist wants to involve the public in an active reflection on the concept of history, transmission, and cultural comparison. Lin Yilin's practice has always been an energetic and spiritual mix between social architecture and everyday life. Drawing on the changing social and economic conditions, the political landscape and the experiences of cultural migration, it traces the relationships between self, community, and urban environments in a now globalized context.

PERFORMANCE | 12 –13-14 April | OHT, Little Fun Palace Quarticciolo and Tor Tre teste | free entrance Little Fun Palace was originally a tribute to Fun Palace, a project by architect Cedric Price and theatre director Joan Littlewood, who wanted to create street university, a “laboratory of fun”, in the 1960s. The work makes use of a caravan in order to provide an unusual setting for meetings and open debates by driving it around the urban space. By interacting with the territory, it triggers new communication mechanisms, thereby creating temporary public spaces and promoting the restoration of community ties. Among the planned activities: the showing of 1395 Days without Red by Anri Sala, AAJJ a performance by Annamaria Aimone and Jacopo Jenna, Caraoche fichissima (per spaccare il cuore) by Sara Leghissa and Lucia Gallone, live sound by dj Populous, meetings with Annalisa Sacchi, Emilia Giorgi, photography workshop edited by Antonio Ottomanelli and educational workshops by MAXXI educational department.

LECTURE | April 2018, 6:00 p.m. | Costruire e abitare: Etica per la città Lecture by Richard Sennett MAXXI Auditorium | Free entrance thanks to Enel The sociologist, urban planner, literary critic and writer Richard Sennett recounts his vision of the alternative way to build and inhabit cities. In the "open city", citizens actively challenge their differences and create a virtuous interaction with urban forms. To build and inhabit this city, it is necessary to "practice a certain type of modesty: to live one among many, involved in a world that does not only reflect itself.

ENEL THE FIRST PRIVATE FOUNDING MEMBER OF MAXXI – NATIONAL MUSEUM OF XXI CENTURY ARTS

Enel’s participation as first private founding member in the Fondazione MAXXI will see the company offer it a membership contribution over the next three years, while also partnering the foundation in an ambitious energy efficiency plan for the MAXXI museum in Rome that will highlight sustainability and energy savings.

Culture, value and accountability are the guiding principles that have prompted Enel to forge partnerships with leading national and international institutions in order to implement innovative projects that give the public a vision of energy that is orientated towards the future. More specifically, Enel is committed to promoting art and music, putting its emphasis on young artists: in 2003 the Group became both a founding member of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and of the Teatro alla Scala and in 2015 of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino.

Enel’s focus has always been on developing the best solutions for the economic and social development of the countries in which it operates, the enterprises that produce their wealth and the people, who are their driving force. The Group does this acting with respect for the environment and the communities that host its operations.

The world has changed. More people have more access to more powerful technologies than ever before. As people's lives become more connected, energy must equip individuals to do more. That's why Enel is committed to opening power to more people, technologies, uses and partners.

As a truly global business, Enel is perfectly placed to open power around the world. Enel operates in more than 35 countries, from Europe, to North America, Latin America, Africa and Asia. Enel connects more than 73 million customers to more reliable and increasingly sustainable power, drawing from a net installed capacity of more than 89 GW. Enel runs 2.2 million kilometres of grid network, supplying the largest customer base of any European energy company.
