Fabulae Romanae curated by Maria Luisa Frisa, is an ambitious sculpture and video installation specifically created by Lucy + Jorge Orta for MAXXI National Museum of XXI Century Arts and that will form part the Museum’s new display Tridimensionale. Fabulae Romanae is symbolic excursus that traces the artists’ key themes: starting with Refuge Wear, “a nomadic form of shelter, a small portable habitat, which combines in a single conceptual solution the physical, social, and symbolic functions of architecture and clothing”, as described by Maria Luisa Frisa. The new Dome Dwelling sculptures in the exhibition are framed by Fabulae Romanae – Spirits, an immense large screen video performance that was recently filmed in Rome. The installation, conceived especially for the space, will be exhibited to the public from 22 March to 23 September 2012 and included in the new display of the MAXXI Arte collection, titled “Tridimensionale”. At the exhibition’s end, one of the works that composes the installation will be donated by Gruppo Ermenegildo Zegna to MAXXI and annexed into the museum’s permanent collection. Fabulae Romanae is commissioned by Ermenegildo Zegna and is the first Special Project of the initiative ZegnArt, a multi-faceted and multi-year project dedicated to the field of contemporary visual arts.
