The calendar will highlight a program series curated by Ilaria Conti on diversity in art and culture across Italy and the United States, a lecture series on new scholarship in the study of the Arte Povera movement curated by Dr. Roberta Minnucci, Magazzino Italian Art 2022-23 Scholar-in- Residence, a project by Arcangelo Sassolino in collaboration with The Art Newspaper, a cross-genre concert by Jog Blues, and the sixth iteration of the Cinema in Piazza film series presented in partnership with the Cold Spring Film Society and Artecinema, Naples. Magazzino’s summer programs will culminate in the September opening of the museum’s second building: the Robert Olnick Pavilion.
The Robert Olnick Pavilion is designed by the renowned Spanish architects Alberto Campo Baeza and Miguel Quismondo. The pavilion will expand the extensive facilities of the main building, providing an additional 13,000 square feet of exhibition space, a wing devoted to decorative arts, ceramics, and jewelry, a multipurpose room with auditorium capabilities, and a combined cafe and bookshop on the mezzanine.
Magazzino Italian Art will present two inaugural exhibitions and a special project in the new pavilion about Mario Schifano, Carlo Scarpa, and Ettore Spalletti. Expanding public programs into the new space, the museum will host three study days at the pavilion dedicated to Mario Schifano, Carlo Scarpa, and Ettore Spalletti.
This year marks a milestone for Magazzino with the opening of the Robert Olnick Pavilion, allowing the museum to host more temporary exhibitions, expand educational initiatives for younger visitors, and continue to offer a wide range of both indoor and outdoor events across both spaces on campus. Magazzino's programming leading up to the opening of the Robert Olnick Pavilion in the fall will include important collaborations with international artists and institutions to highlight the diversity of Italian culture, not just in its visual identity, but also in the realms of music, film, research, and performance. The museum’s community has been growing since the opening in 2017 and Magazzino is excited to build an even larger platform to welcome everyone to the newly expanded campus. |

Courtesy the artist.In conjunction with Black History Month, Magazzino presents Present Memories: On the Politics of Image-Making, the fourth iteration of Pensiero Plurale, a series of programs conceived and curated by Ilaria Conti centered on issues of cultural and social justice, intersectional thinking, and the arts across Italy and the United States.
Present Memories explores the politics behind some of the incomplete or fictitious narratives that continue to shape historical memories and present-day identities in connection to Italy. The invited speakers will discuss strategies to question and critically rethink such processes of knowledge-formation through visual and material culture.
The full-day, in-person event features a morning program with artist Dawit L. Petros and scholar Teresa Fiore and an afternoon session with curator Mistura Allison.

 The Politics of Labor in Postwar Italian Art lecture series, curated by Katie Larson, Magazzino’s 2021-22 Scholar-in-Residence. Photo by Alexa Hoyer.The fifth annual spring lecture series brings together some of the leading scholars of Arte Povera who present new perspectives on postwar Italian art. The 2023 Lecture Series, curated by Dr. Roberta Minnucci, Magazzino’s 2022-23 Scholar-in-Residence, will address research topics which are strictly interconnected with Arte Povera’s relationship with the past and its artistic exchanges with the United States. Participants for the 2023 season will feature Dr. Laura Petican, Dr. Marin R. Sullivan, Dr. Raffaele Bedarida, and Dr. Roberta Minnucci.
Contributions from the selected scholars will shed light on crucial aspects of postwar Italian art including: the legacy of the Baroque and the influence of the Italian artistic tradition on more recent practices (Dr. Laura Petican, Independent scholar); the role exhibitions of Italian art in the U.S. had in influencing the way Italian art was interpreted at home (Dr. Raffaele Bedarida, Associate Professor of History of Art at the Cooper Union, New York); sculptural projects made by foreign and Italian artists during the 1960s and 1970s (Dr. Marin R. Sullivan, Lecturer, Department of History of Art and Architecture DePaul University, Chicago); the reinterpretation of classical antiquity and art history in Arte Povera (Dr. Roberta Minnucci, art historian specializing in Italian art of the 1960s and 1970s, with a PhD from the University of Nottingham).
