The exhibition, organized by the MAXXI and the Proa Foundation Buenos Aires, will be on show until the 11th of September. “Art on Stage” is a project that transposes the MAXXI’s collection in a scenic and theatrical space, with art as a manifestation of individual and collective desires. The exhibition puts together an Italian scenario from a political, ethical, social and philosophical point of view, aiming to inspire an international audience.
