Antoanetta Marinov returns from Berlin for RAW with her performance, in which she will gift autumn leaves to passersby.
This gesture opens us to the question of what "art" actually is in an overcrowded world, and how the artist's act of choosing and manipulating can transform everyday objects into works of art.
This site-specific performance is tied to our relationship with time and the passing of the seasons, an invitation to recognize the singularity of each moment.
Antoanetta Marinov chooses to position herself outside the major contemporary art museums, underscoring her awareness of not wanting to be part of certain mechanisms that entirely reflect the dynamics of our capitalist society, which enters into an economic relationship with the same realities and dynamics it condemns in its conceptual narrative.
This year, we will find her again outside the MAXXI museum, on the Ponte della Musica, on Monday, October 20th, at the opening of Rome Art Week.
This year, a new element will be introduced into its performative and participatory art practice, underlining the presence and importance of the public voice.
