Dialoge 09 – MAXXI

»Dialoge 09 – MAXXI« by Sasha Waltz, to inaugurate Rome’s new museum for contemporary art »MAXXI«, could be viewed only in Rome. Being dedicated to 21st. Century architecture and art of every form including the performing arts the »Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo« is conceived as a laboratory-style museum, and with this in mind the British architect Zaha Hadid devised a flexible museum topography allowing for manifold modalities of interpreting art. Sasha Waltz was invited by the administrators of the building to create the dedication. She proceeded further with the development her notion of the moving exhibition on the various levels of a building, a pursuit begun with the Neuen Museum in Berlin. The renowned Sound artist Hans Peter Kuhn, costume designer Bernd Skodzig and musicians and dancers from the Sasha Waltz & Guests ensemble were participating in the artistic dedication of the new Rome museum »Dialoge 09 – MAXXI«.
