This Saturday evening, I had a fantastic time at Rome's massive contemporary art fair, held at Macro Future, in an old slaughter-house in Testaccio. I took so many photos! Here are some of my favorites.
A street-artist's take on Guernica, overlooking the parking lot.
This installation was really cool, we were invited to smash these ceramic heads in any way we wanted.
Photographs by Nobuyoshi Araki, a Japanese artist known for his compulsive style and erotic themes.
These two kids were exploring this installation so intensely.
Self-portrait.
Some photographs by Shirin Neshat, one of my favorite contemporary Iranian-American artists.
Below is a detail of a work by Ghada Amer, another favorite from the Middle East.
I don't remember the artist, but this photo was so funny! It's Columbus, at Columbus Circle. Note the reactions of the passersby.
Above: not art. Aperitivi. After the first three hours of strolling, we need to refuel with some Prosecco.
Rome's new contemporary art center, Maxxi, opened over the weekend. I really liked their ad campaign (above.)It was SO refreshing to be immersed in contemporary art for five hours. The fair was surprisingly laid-back compared to its American counterparts, and I really enjoyed myself.
