Regeneration

Rome and its ruins have long provoked an aestheticization of decay—a meditation on the frailty of the physical world and the inevitable passage of time. Regeneration gathers the work of contemporary artists from the globe to push up against a paradox: that decay can seed a new, often beautiful materiality. This exhibition examines both process and impact, considering decay as a destructive and a generative phenomenon in diverse cultural contexts.
