A production by Marcello Farabegoli Projects in cooperation with the Italian embassy Vienna. Special thanks to Galerie Ernst Hilger www.hilger.at for providing Massimo Vitali’s works and to the sponsors.
This is the third major site-specific show curated and produced by Marcello Farabegoli Projects on behalf of the Italian ambassador Giorgio Marrapodi for an exhibition cycle devoted to contemporary art at Palais Metternich. This time the show does not so much concentrate on the history, architecture, or aesthetics of the palace but rather on the embassy’s function of representing Italy abroad. Its special focus is on Sunday, la domenica in Italy, as a day which is (still) a work-free holiday in both countries, with all its rituals and special rhythm of life. Associations with a particular religion are of minor importance in this context...
