Kronos and Kairos: Rome's contemporary art event returns to the monumental spaces of the Palatine Hill

Kicking off July 19 is Kronos and Kairos, the exhibition that renews the appointment with contemporary art in the monumental spaces of the Palatine, until Nov. 3.

If Kronos is the passing of time, Kairos is the opportune moment, the moment when something particular happens. This double definition creates a link, but also a juxtaposition, between time as quantity, Kronos, and time as quality, Kairos, along the course of a historical dimension, narrated on the Palatine, through the 15 works of as many Italian and international artists invited to participate.

The installation aims to suggest a vision of the contemporary that dialogues with the historical heritage, showing the continuity and stratification that characterize the richness and uniqueness of the Colosseum Archaeological Park.

The selected works, including audiovisuals and installations, combine with the scenery of the imperial palaces; the ancient and the contemporary support and welcome each other, opening the door to a continuous relationship between the world of yesterday and today.

Balance, the relationship between history and nature, memory and sedimentation, as well as aging and preservation are the themes that bind the 15 artists in the exhibition: Nina Beier, Catherine Biocca, Fabrizio Cotognini, Dario D’Aronco, Rä di Martino, Jimmie Durham, Kasia Fudakowski, Giuseppe Gabellone, Hans Josephsohn, Oliver Laric, Cristina Lucas, Matt Mullican, Hans Op De Beeck, Giovanni Ozzola, and Fernando Sánchez Castillo.
