Arcoscenico is the final exhibition of the first phase of Messinscèna, a two-year mapping project of the Roman art scene, with the aim of analysing the art research in the capital. The event also acts as a sounding board of the Roman art scene in the national context, as well as a moment of theoretical confrontation among the artists.

Messinscèna is a one-shot exhibition format. Each appointment was dedicated to a different artist, who exhibited their own work and a written theoretical statement for 5 hours.

The artists were invited to install their projects in a space that is always identical and to identify a particular form of relationship with the user.

During the staging, the public was asked to respect the rules of use decided by the artist and not to produce photographic material. During the project, only the video interviews with the artists and the public were disseminated, the works were seen/experienced only by those present. In two years, 10 exhibitions, 10 interviews with the artists and over 150 interviews with the public were produced.

Arcoscenico is therefore an opportunity to discover the project in its entirety, see all the works presented during Messinscèna and discover the theoretical motivations of the artists involved, namely Alessandro Giannì, Leonardo Petrucci, Federika Fumarola, Jacopo Tomassini, Silvio Saccà, Marta Mancini, Michele Formica, Gianni Politi, Davide D’Elia, Novella Oliana.
