How can the evolution of a city be told? How do you make room for modernity in a historically connoted urban texture?
Four works by young Italian artists exhibited in Rome public places temporarily modify the urban landscape, breaking the usual relationship with public space through interventions that change the imaginary of those who usually attend those areas.
Temporaneo represents, through the language of art, the desire for change that reconfigures our cities in a contemporary perspective. It is an opportunity to rethink the concept of monument through a performative angle that temporarily remodels the places we live in.
Artists and works:
Francesco Arena, Torre, 2007 – EUR Laghetto, Passeggiata del Giappone (opposite to the Palazzo ENI)
Francesco Arena was born in Mesagne, Brindisi in 1978. He lives and works in Cassano delle Murge.
Arena deals with themes connected to historical and personal memory. According to him, remembering is a means of acquiring knowledge and it is necessary to improve the capacity to understand the circumstances in which we live and who we are. Arena’s aims are both to reflect on different ways in which memory works and to investigate the boundary between remembrance and oblivion in the XX century history.

Simone Berti, Untitled, 2008 – Casa del Jazz, Lobby - Viale di Porta Ardeatina, 55
Simone Berti was born in Adria (Rovigo) in 1966. He lives and works in Berlin. His scientific education leads him to develop in his work some themes connected to physics. His works are a sort of experiments, an attempt to present some limit-conditions: situations just apparently stable that, taken to the extreme, could overturn. So we can perceive in those, their own fragility and the will to destabilize consolidated scheme and certainties.
Berti’s trust in doubt is an actual instrument of knowledge, as is demonstrated by the peculiar taste for transformations and subtle ambiguity that we can find in all his photographs, installations and performances.

Sandrine Nicoletta, Barrel (unit), 2010 – Università degli Studi Roma Tre – Piazzale del Rettorato, Via Ostiense, 159
Sandrine Nicoletta was born in Aosta in 1970. She lives and works in London. She uses different mediums – from installation to video and performance – in order to inquire the psychophysical condition of human beings and to analyze their relationship with the places that they experienced. She looks for a dialectic dialogue with space and audience. Nicoletta is interested in reaching a balance between the ground that bear us and the atmosphere that surround us; and between the external world and the innerinner one, in which perceptions are collected and elaborated privately. In her installations the artist stimulate the viewer to assume different point of views from which even to look at himself. In one of her exhibitions, she wrote on a panel: <

Alberto Tadiello, LK100A, 2010 – Auditorium, Parco della Musica – Viale Pietro de Coubertin
Alberto Tadiello was born in Montecchio Maggiore (Vicenza) in 1983. He mainly realizes installations and performances focused on the relationship between sound and vision. He inquires the sculptural dimension of acoustic effect, through his sounded installations that work on compression, conversion and release of resistance and tension innate in audio frequencies.
Letting emerge the process in action, the installations – with their flow free in space and their positions amplified - reveal their variations.
