Empire State. New York Art Now
Empire State. New York Art Now
Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome
23 April – 21 July 2013
Opening at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome, on April 23, 2013, “Empire State” explores the constantly shifting realities and mythologies of New York City as a “New Rome.” Filling the Palazzo’s exhibition spaces, this ambitious intergenerational survey presents the work of twenty-five renowned and emerging New York City artists – each in depth and with important new work being shown for the first time – and suggests how they might re-imagine the relationship between their community and the life of the city through a unique grasp on its varied sources of power.
