MAXXI Temporary School: The museum is a school. A school is a Battleground | Parasite 2.0

Mobile backdrops that reproduce imaginary setting, elements in wood, rubber and metal, animal shapes and fragments of nature. Contemporary architecture is also the construction of a “scene” for urban representation and the installation MAXXI Temporary School: the museum is a school. A school Is a Battleground by the Milan group Parasite 2.0 will not only be the backdrop to the museum’s summer events and for the thousand-like selfies of its visitors, but also a reflection on the disappearance of the boundary between space and its representation.
MAXXI chose MAXXI Temporary School for its capacity to transform the nature of the museum’s open space through a series of thematic, mobile and accessible installations/sets, dedicated to interacting with life at MAXXI and the events it produces each year for YAP. The project’s characteristics place it at the borders between architecture, set design, art and performance. Its victory was decreed by its playful, welcoming composition, the inclusion in the project important aspects relating to tis communication and “social” interaction and lastly its ties with a museum, theatrical and cinematographic construction tradition deeply rooted in the history of Rome.
