MACRO to host talk with Olaf Nicolai

ROME -The Museum of Contemporary Art Rome (MACRO) will host a talk with German conceptualist Olaf Nicolai for the "A History" project on Friday June 22 at 6:30pm.

The project seeks to identify unusual and alternative interpretations to the "classic" method of recording Italian and international art history. The insight is to be gained through a series of talks with five internationally renown artists of the contemporary art scene of varying generations.  

 Nicolai, the second artist to participate in the series, is a conceptual artist recording elements of contemporary culture through a range of mediums: video, photography and installation.  T he third, with Mexican artist Mario Garcia Torres, is to be held in October.

The project was curated by Luca Lo Pinto in collaboration with DEPART Foundation. 

The talk is located in MACRO's auditorium at via Nizza, 139. Entrance is free to the public.
