• W291289653 abstract "After years of talk, Rome appears reach to launch its first photography museum. To mam. the ambitious plan marks the latest step in the artistic coming-of-age of the Eternal City, eager to be taken as seriously for its present and future as it is for its glorious past. But Italy's recent history of Hawed museum openings should serve as a warning. If organizers fail to overcome apparent lack of vision, staggering red tape, and austerity cuts to the arts, the photographs museum is destined to become the latest victim in this Roman tragedy. The chosen site is located in the southwest quarter of Testaccio, inside a beautifully restored from the nineteenth century, incidentally the era that marks the dawn of photography. Known as the Mattatoio slaughterhouse the multi-pavilion structure today houses the 165.000-square- foot of the Arts, a series of independent art-related institutions. Similar in concept to Madrid's Matadcro and Paris's Centquatre, it is still operating beneath its potential. A branch of the Museo d'arte con temporal tea Roma MACRO is perhaps Testaccio's best-known attraction. Other institutions already at the City of the Arts include art academy, a music school, and university departments. Adding hi die color, located nearby is association of horse-drawn carriage drivers, complete with stables and troughs, alongside organic food co-op and several associations devoted to the green economy. In this environment, at roughly hall the size of MACRO, the pholography museum will oceups the 9d pavilion on two floors, comprising a 4,600-square-foot modular exhibition space, a combined bookshop and en try way, a pressroom and educational room, two darkrooms, a multipurpose space, labs, reading rooms, and a four-thousand-volume library. Currently no other space devoted to photographs in Rome comes close in terms of size and resources, and enthusiasts argue that the time has come lor a city of such stature to finally Is fill a yawning gap that separates ii from the rest of Europe and the United States. Marina Righetli. director of the Art History Department at Rome's La Sapicnza University. calls this absence a cultural handicap. (2) In 2012, roughly ninety photography professionals signed appeal to build the museum, calling it strategic and an occasion not to be missed. (1) The plan marks a chance to fulfill urge that's been brewing in the capital at least since the 1990s, when talk ol the Italian government establishing a national photographs museum first arose. Then, in 200b. the province I Rome raised grand hopes of building the House of Photography close to Renzo Piano's Auditorium Parco dell a Musica and Zaha Hadid's National Museum of 21st Century Arts MAXXI). But where fanfare and determination fizzled for past projects, the most recent proposal from the city clearly has staying power. After surviving the worst recession since World War II, the cits seems committed to bringing this museum in completion. Yet, while the architectural and technical aspects seem to be taken care of a tangle of unresolved questions still remains about the nature and the mission of this museum-to-be. Such questions were first broached in 2011 at a public roimdtable bringing together representatives from the city and universities, as well as a dozen national and international photographs experts, including museum directors, curators, critics, publishers, and historians. Panelists asked a series of questions, both practical and philosophical, regarding the nature ol the operation: Is it anachronistic to found a photographs museum in the twenty-first century? What kind of photographs should be its focus? Should it have its own collection or promote those of' other institutions? What is the role of the museum and of the curator, both in general and in the specific case of Rome's photography venture? What kind of public does ii hope to attract? …" @default.
