This first exhibition organized by Ida Panicelli—the new director—was based on an unwillingness to celebrate this “new beginning” with a gigantic, uselessly spectacular show, and from a desire for reappraisal. The show was composed of three sections: the first, “Museo” (Museum), contained works by Karen Knorr and Giulio Paolini; the second, “Città” (City), consisted of installations by Barbara Kruger and by the Japanese artist Tadashi Kawamata; and the third section, “Eventi” (Events), was comprised of a concert and four performances.
