On wednesday 26 march 2014, the Pastificio Cerere Foundation in Rome will present the exhibition BE THE POEM. Plastic architecture by Marco Galofaro, curated by Domitilla Dardi. The exhibition marks the first public showing of the architectural models of Marco Galofaro – whose studio realized Alfredo Jaar’s resin model for the latest edition of the Venice Biennale – organized into an organic itinerary that illustrates the complexity of contemporary architectural vision in its constant dialogue with other disciplines.
With this exhibition, the Pastificio Cerere Foundation once again underlines its interest in the realm of architecture, particularly in terms of the latter’s interaction with contemporary art, public space and design – all areas of activity in which the passage from an abstract idea to the materiality of the object becomes crucial to the definition of the work itself.
An artist’s talk will be held on the occasion of the exhibition, convened by Domitilla Dardi, with the participation of Matteo Costanzo, co-founder of the architecture studio 2a+p/a, and Marco Petroni, design critic and theorist and Senior Curator of the Plart Foundation in Naples.
