Open to the public the conservation works of Rossella Biscotti’s Il processo (the trial) on the occasion of the FUORI TUTTO exhibition.

Rossella Biscotti: The future can only be for ghosts
Curated by Letizia Ragaglia
The solo show, the artist’s first in an Italian museum, traces some of the key stages in her career, without being a retrospective. Biscotti has responded to Museion’s invitation by creating new works and presenting traces of existing pieces—the exhibition includes casts of the 2009 project Le Teste in Oggetto, five bronze heads of King Vittorio Emanuele III and Benito Mussolini produced in 1942 for the Universal Expo in Rome, subsequently cancelled, and The Prison of Santo Stefano (2011–13), tracings of parts of the floor and cells
