> The MAXXI Foundation, chaired by Pio Baldi, presents 'Exhibiting
> Architecture | The 21st Century Museum', an International Symposium by
> Margherita Guccione, Director of MAXXI architecture, coordinated by
> Maristella Casciato and Pippo Ciorra. The international symposium,
> organized together with Musica per Roma Foundation, will be held on
> Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 November at the Auditorium Parco della Musica.
> The Directors of some of the world's most important museums and
> architecture institutions, as well as a number of reputable curators,
> critics and scholars will meet for the first time in Rome to take part
> in an intense debate.
>
> Rome will thus be the capital of architecture for two days of debates
> between directors of various institutions and curators, as well as
> architects, town-planners and historians, who will make an
> unprecedented contribution to the multitude of meanings of the Museum
> of the 21st Century, understood as a space for building a 'discourse'
> on the constantly evolving contemporary culture. The following issues
> will be dealt with during the conference:
>
> - defining the tasks of the Italian Museum of Architecture;
> - defining the nature and peculiar aspects of the curating activity in
> the realm of international projects;
> - identifying privileged interlocutors and the public of reference;
> - reconciling the activity of keeping documentary memory with the
> promotion and call for a topical debate on architecture.
