SUMMARY:Ai Weiwei: Aftershock
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition showcasing Ai Weiwei’s five-decade career\, from works created in New York in the 80s to new sculptures created in Ukraine in 2025.\nThe exhibition is arranged as a dialogue between the artist and Palazzo Ardinghelli. The show features a series of powerful works created after the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan and dedicated to the memory of its losses. One of these works is Straight\, a seminal piece for Ai Weiwei that is being shown in L’Aquila for the first time in three different spaces. This sculpture\, like the other works in the exhibition\, underscores the lasting impact of natural catastrophes and human-generated conflicts\, highlighting themes such as corruption and tragedy. It celebrates human resilience and the power of the drive to create. \nOn display are almost seventy works\, some of them displayed for the first time in a museum\, spanning Weiwei’s entire artistic career: installations\, videos\, photographs\, sculptures conceived as paintings and iconic subjects by artists like Munch\, Van Gogh and Ed Ruscha re-interpreted using toy bricks. \nHe experiments\, connects\, collects\, recycles and invents in a way that is never just a pure exercise in form. Through variety and the subversion of traditional values\, he encourages us to look at the world from different points of view. Weiwei’s work is rooted in his personal experience\, yet its significance is universal. \n \nheader: stills from the music video Dumbass\, 2013\, 5min 13 sec\, cinematography by Christopher Doyle\, Courtesy of Ai Weiwei Studio

SUMMARY:Convergenze e continuità
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition that goes beyond the borders of Palazzo Ardinghelli to tell a story of architecture\, cities and transformations.\nHoused in the newly restored rooms of Palazzo ONMI – a former nursery on Viale Duca degli Abruzzi and a testament to public architecture – the exhibition begins in the 1930s and unfolds as a continuous narrative of the urban landscape of Abruzzo. \nThe exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the transformations of the cities\, tracing the key stages in the processes of growth and redefinition of urban space. Architectural works\, emblematic events and dialogues with artistic production illustrate the evolution of the modern architectural language in Abruzzo up to the 1960s\, offering an overview of the forms and ideas that have shaped the region. \nProjects\, works of art\, archival documents\, film footage\, contemporary photographs and period photographs – drawn from private collections\, public archives and the MAXXI’s Collections of Contemporary Architecture and Design – highlight the continuities and changes involving three generations of designers\, spanning different historical periods and transcending ideological and political divides. \nThe exhibition is enriched by a series of artistic photographs commissioned from Andrea Jemolo. Through his contemporary perspective\, the images offer a modern interpretation of some of the region’s most significant projects\, creating a dialogue between the historical dimension of the projects\, their current state and the landscape in which they are situated.
