MEMORY GAME at Villa Lontana

PRIVATE VIEW Thursday 24 September. Exhibition open to public 25th September – 21st November 2020, 12—7pm. http://www.villalontana.it/info

The starting point for the exhibition MEMORY GAME at Villa Lontana is a nineteenth century chest of drawers comprising numerous coloured marble samples used during the Roman Empire. The object is part of the Fondazione Santarelli Collection, which is treated as an archive to develop the curatorial projects of Villa Lontana. Each sample comes from a different quarry and location within the extended colonies of the Roman Empire: Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Jordan, Libya, Macedonia, Spain, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey. The chest of drawers, together with the Enciclopedia dell’Arte Antica Treccani, are presented in Villa Lontana’s garage space alongside works by Tauba Auerbach, Cyprien Gaillard, Susan Hiller, Thomas Hutton, John Latham, Charlotte Moth, Rosalind Nashashibi + Lucy Skaer, Olu Ogunnaike, Giorgio Orbi, Andrés Saenz de Sicilia + Emiddio Vasquez, Edoardo Servadio and Joëlle Tuerlinckx. Curated by Dr Jo Melvin and Vittoria Bonifati
