The processes of fruition and education
experiment with new forms and new places of actuation

The staging at the Roma Ostiense Railway Station of a work from the permanent collection that talks about marginality represents an opportunity to actuate an audience development strategy that attracts new visitors as well as being the cornerstone of a series of artistic, social and cultural events that MAXXI, through its education department and ZOE are presenting in order to extend the possible interpretations of the work through the participation of and sharing with the people in transit.

Opening times:
Friday 19 June, 12.00 AM – 8.00 PM
Saturday 20 June, 11.00 AM – 7.00 PM
Sunday 21 June, 11.00 AM – 7.00 PM
