Diego Perrone
Museo Nazionale Romano, Palazzo Massimo
July 25, 2019 – January 7, 2020
Palazzo Massimo presents a new sculpture by Diego Perrone entitled, “La notte all’indietro pesa” which is staged in the Sala della dea Roma from July 25, 2019 – January 7, 2020.
Diego Perrone’s sculpture, promoted by the National Roman Museum, is the winner of the third edition of the Italian Council; a project created by the Contemporary Art and Architecture Directorate, led by Federica Galloni of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, to promote contemporary Italian art in the world.
Perrone’s sculpture was originally presented in the spring at Bullseye Projects in Portland, Oregon. After the closing of the show at the Museo Nazionale Romano in January 2020, the sculpture will travel to the Italian Cultural Institute, Brussels, then to the Swiss Museum of San Gallo in February, and finally to Crypta Balbi, Rome in September 2020.
A catalogue will be published by Mousse Publishing and presented at the end of the traveling exhibition.
