Museum for Preventive Imagination is the program's title envisioned in 2020 by the Artistic Director of MACRO — Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, Luca Lo Pinto: a single exhibition project that will evolve organically until the end of 2024. The Nicolai class invites Luca Lo Pinto for a lecture and reflection on the museum's project, which is coming to an end.
Museum for Preventive Imagination transforms the museum into a performative space: a stage in which events, exhibitions, and projects with different spatial and temporal dimensions coexist, and aim to involve the public with a program that is both accessible and entertaining, understandable but not didactic. The museum becomes a shared infrastructure, a space for reciprocity, conviviality, and the questioning of the role of artistic production and its reception. The idea is to develop an elastic and interdisciplinary museum structure that focuses on artists and their thinking, a museum as a study of imaginative forms of cultural production instead of a static exhibition space.
The lecture is held in English and is open to the public.
