Pratiche contestuali nell’arte recente: di fronte al reperto archeologico, a Roma

This contribution will offer some considerations on the exhibition Confluenze. Antico e contemporaneo (2016) – conceived for the Plaster Casts Gallery of Sapienza University of Rome – observing the interest that Archaeology, with its methods, products and contexts, has aroused in the artists of the last decades. In particular, from a Roman perspective, it emerges that the ability of the authors to forge specific relationships with antique contexts – for museums or monuments – is a discriminating factor.
