will be show during the exhibition:

WunderMoRE
from March 7 to July 8
at MAXXI Museum, Rome - IT 
curated by Ilaria BignottiElisabetta Modena,Valentina Rossi and Marco Scotti

WunderMoRE 
is the first event of 2018 of The Independent, the program of MAXXI - National Museum of XXI Century Arts in Rome dedicated to independent realities, which sees MoRE as the winning group of i8. In fact, i8, the initiative of the ArtVerona fair dedicated to independent spaces, included among its awards the exhibition at MAXXI.

WunderMoRE, visible in the free spaces of the Carlo Scarpa foyer, wants to offer a unique and dense view of the archive, showing its exceptional nature and alluding to the idea of collection, the history of the museum and museology.
As the title suggests, the central theme of the exhibition is marvel, understood as a combination of mirabilia, naturalia et artificialia, objects belonging to the ancientWunderkammer, the first forms of exhibition of collecting, but also as the fundamental component of the artist's project linked to visionary and evocative power.
The Independent is a research project ofMAXXI curated by Giulia Ferracci and Elena Motisi, focused on identifying and promoting spaces and independent thought. The project aims to broaden and challenge the current limits of museum institutions, developing different ways to act in the contemporary world.

Rotazione continua orizzontale [Continous horizontal rotation] (1975), probably entitled Da un’idea del 69 [From an Idea of the 69], consists of an environmental intervention proposed by the artist for the facade of the Merate School of Maternity at the Concorso Legge del 2% Scuola Materna (ente morale) di Merate [Competition of the 2% Law for Merate nursery School].
This project starts from the research held by Scaccabarozzi from the end of sixties and first half of seventies, and belongs to the series ofFustellati: these works come from the analysis of the movement in the relation between surface, depth, light and perception, in a space conceived as field of possible and potential variations
Partially raised, inclined, orientated and colored, positioned in a rhythmic and sequential movement on the support itself, the Fustellati are an invitation to the eye and an incitement to the potentiality of perception.
Rotazione continua orizzontale [Continous horizontal rotation] uses the colour yellow  to completes and stresses the perceptive path of the cylindrical elements on the pictorial-environmental surface, thus intensifying the visual and cinetic-virtual potentialities of the project itself, if it would be realized.
