FLAVIO FAVELLI
L’Imperatrice Teodora
25 June, 2011 - 8 January, 2012

Flavio Favelli continues the cycle of projects specially designed for the curved walls of the atria of the historic wing of MACRO, twin spaces at the entrance of the exhibition halls.
Conceiving these walls as areas for images, and to make use of unconventional environments as exhibition areas, MACRO selects Italian artists from the international scene to implement this project. After Francesco Simeti, Luca Trevisani, and Nico Vascellari, it is now Favelli’s turn, whose installation - two large pvc tarpaulins - entitled The Empress Theodora, transforms these architectural elements in new spaces for the imagination and memory.
The hall of the museum thus becomes a place for the expression of emotional tensions and conflicting forces, involving the public in the artist’s private and universal memories.
