set design to painting and from sculpture to advertising. The works
have toured Paris, Vienna, Turin, Osaka, and now finally Rome. And

they are nevertheless extremely powerful and evocative.

a simple way of feeding oneself, but a ritual linked to religion

and situation. Various kinds of finds are on show: utensils, braziers,
amphorae and goblets.

the Circle of Blood. This photographical exhibition attempts to
provide an ending to this scandalous and unfinished film.

of people's lives through their houses and belongings, the schools
they went to, their facial expressions. The pictures on show have

Moshekwa Langa, currently working in Holland. Paintings, collages,

media through which the artist chooses to speak to us about the
cultural co-existence that currently exists in our continent. This
is irrational art, representing snapshots of reminiscences and memories,
the whole interpreted in a light style that that knows how to be
ironic even about themes such as human frailty.

A major exhibition on internationally renowned architect, city planner

and hosted in three high-profile cultural spaces. A man who developed
very modern urban theories and to whom we owe the concept of 'Arcologia':
architectural solutions that are respectful of the environment,
in which aesthetics cannot be separated from the concepts of energy
saving, re-use of materials and recycling. A vast range of creations,
graphic works, plastic sculptures, photos and videos are displayed.

Fifty paintings and marionettes are on show. The puppets are one
of the most original insights into the figurative culture of the
20th century exhibited in the 1920s in Rome, Paris and Berlin. These
are soft sculptures that are inspired by literature but that also
have their own stories to tell. They are made out of fabric, threads,
ribbons and various objects such as fragments of mirror, toothpicks
and buttons. The marionettes are like real personalities who must
be seen, actually touched, with one's own eyes.

of embroidery)
An exhibition that brings together the human and divine and displays
refined works that have been created especially for the Week of
Seville. More than a hundred pieces made between the 16th century
and the present day show visitors the medieval tradition of "needle
painting" that is still alive and well in Seville today. The different
sections of the exhibition tell the story of the needle-workers
from Seville and show the techniques and materials used. The layout
of the exhibition and various audiovisual projections show us the
creative phases of this art and skill.

Until 22 Jan 2006: Degas. La famiglia Bellelli
(Degas. The Bellelli family)
The most famous work from Degas' youth is exhibited for the first
time at the Modern Art Gallery. The truly revolutionary aspect of
the painting is the dysfunctional non-unity of the family, the psychological
elements of the picture take centre-stage and the tension in the
family is palpable. The virtuosity of the mirror is also remarkable.
This painting contains all the power of the Impressionist movement,
showing how it shook up the aesthetic canons from within, allowing
a flood of emotion, until then censored, to enter the realm of art.

Rome. Angelo Pennoni on the set of Accattone) .

the fashion of holidaying that describes a trip he once made from
