Starting July 19 and until October 11, 2011 Image ARCHIVE www.image-web.org/archive participates in the MAXXI's www.fondazionemaxxi.it summer program YAP MAXXI, the first Italian edition of the well-known Young Architects Program launched by the Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1 twelve years ago in New York. The exterior spaces of the MAXXI in Rome will host the summer events that focus on the diverse aspects of contemporary art. In this context, Image ARCHIVE was invited to create an event focused on a series of videos and films that would expose the public to some of the most relevant and experimental projects, works and ideas in the architectural scene internationally.
The program ARCHITECTURE VISIONS. Erratic language in architectural narratives, curated by Marco Brizzi and Paola Ricco of Image, consists of three themed sections, each accompanied by a speaker. "PLAYING ON THE SCENE" (July 19 and 26 at 8:30 pm) demonstrates interaction, sometimes playful and spectacular, within architecture and urban space. "THE ARCHITECT'S MICRONARRATIVES" (September 13 and 20 at 8:30 pm) exposes the brief forms that accompany communication of a thought or project in architecture. Finally with "BUILDINGS IN THE SPOTLIGHT" (October 4 and 11 at 8:30 pm) we observe an architecture that manifests through video.
