What is a Visiting Director? The Marino Marini Museum introduces this unique figure to the world

The Marino Marini Museum, Florence, offers the project ACCENTS, ACCENTI, conceived by Visiting Director 2019, Dimitri Ozerkov.

Each year the museum will invite as Visiting Directors (a figure devised by the Florentine museum and a unique case in the world) museum directors from around the world who contribute high-level scientific and cultural contributions to enhance the prestige of the museum venue and to make the museum a place of continuous and stimulating cultural elaboration , a laboratory of experimentation and the future.

Dimitri Ozerkov is the current head of the Department of Contemporary Art of the HErmitage State Museum in St. Petersburg and of the Hermitage 20/21 project, and he has invited these days to the Marino Marini Museum three young but established Russian artists-Irina Drozd, Andrey Kuzkin, and Ivan Plusch-who will transform the museum into an in situ laboratory.
Their works will dialogue with Marino Marini ’s masterpieces and with the Rucellai Chapel and its Tempietto by Leon Battista Alberti, an integral part of the museum itinerary. The creations of these three artists will be on view in the exhibition from May 4 to July 1, 2019.

In addition, the Russian director, inspired by the fact that the church of San Pancrazio was an integral part of a women’s monastic complex, has organized a conceptual exhibition in the Rucellai Chapel entitled Three Women, intending to reflect on the importance of the female figure in human history through three famous biblical women: Judith, Jael and Delilah.
