The Quadriennale offers its Friends a cycle of events on the history of Italian art in the 21st century intended to develop tools for navigating the more contemporary art scene. The cycle includes a number of events, including lectures and visits to artists’ studios, collections and contemporary art spaces, with the participation of curators.
The initiative is organised under the coordination of Ludovico Pratesi. .
Lectures
The lectures cover the history of Italian art from 2000 to present day and will take place on a monthly basis. Their aim is to explore the careers of the most representative artists of this twenty-year period and identify contextual elements that can allow for an organic reading of the different paths within a single landscape.
The lectures last 60 minutes and are led by Ludovico Pratesi, with the participation of guest artists and curators.
Atelier visits
Every two months, a series of studio visits are organised with artists who are mainly active in the Roman area, with a special focus on Artist Run Spaces, that is, the self-managed spaces created by artists in some parts of the city during the pandemic.
Exploring the collections
Every two months, a private collector in Rome opens the doors of their collection for an exclusive visit designed to provide an insight into Italian collections.
