  • UTOPIA for SALE? a Tribute to Allan Sekula
    AT MAXXI FROM 15 FEBRUARY UTOPIA FOR SALE? A tribute to Allan Sekula Bernd & Hilla Becher, Noël Burch, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Cao Fei, Libero De Cunzo, Adelita Husni-Bey, Li Liao, Pier Luigi Nervi, Allan Sekula, Amie Siegel films, photographs, installations, projects: a reflection on globalization, on the Utopias of the past and those of today www.fondazionemaxxi.it Rome, 14 February, 2014 . UTOPIA FOR SALE? A tribute to Allan Sekula will be open to the public from next Saturday 15 February (inauguration Friday 14, 19.30). This new exhibition has been curated by MAXXI’s artistic director Hou Hanru and Monia Trombetta, with the contribution of the MAXXI Architettura and MAXXI Arte curatorial teams. Open through to 4 May 2014 in Gallery 5 on the third floor, Utopia for sale? is a tribute to the artist Allan Sekula , who passed away a few months ago. On show, along with Sekula's works, are videos and installations by Noël Burch, Cao Fei, Adelita Husni-Bey, Li Liao, Amie Siegel ; photographs of industrial sites and landscapes from the MAXXI Arte and MAXXI Architettura collections by Bernd & Hilla Becher , Gianni Berengo Gardin , and Libero De Cunzo , which also provide the drawings and images of the Cartiere Burgo paper mill in Mantova designed by Pier Luigi Nervi . The works on show reflect on the theme of globalization and the circulation of ideas, products and people in an era of whirling social, cultural and economic changes in which the Utopia of monetary power is replacing the Utopia of social good. “In our time, the idealist and equalitarian projects of social reconstruction represented by projects such as Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse in France, or Corviale by Mario Fiorentino in Italy, are now being rapidly emptied, and ideologically, ethically and practically destroyed through their gentrifying transformations and marketization through auctions - says Hou Hanru Artistic Director of MAXXI and curator of the exhibition.
