Fiona Tan. Ediz. multilingue
Fiona Tan is highly adept in the use of cinematic language, and her artistic perspective is profoundly impacted by her own narrative. This catalogue is published on the occasion of the world premiere of Tans most recent work, Inventory, at the MAXXI. Presented is a new reflection on the concept and history of art collecting and the museum, with respect to the private house and museum of Sir John Soane, an 18th-century British architect and collector. Three video installations by Tan are also shown: Correction, Disorient and Cloud Island. Installation images accompany an essay by the artist, plus contributions by Anna Mattirolo, Monia Trombetta, Andrea Lissoni and others. Exhibition: MAXXI - National Museum of XXI Century Arts, Rome, Italy (27.3. - 8.9.2013) / Philadelphia Museum of Art, USA (14.12.2013 - 23.3.2014)
