Ontem inaugurámos «Rosa Barba. Desenhar Vocabulários», uma exposição que se revela como um filme tridimensional e, ao mesmo tempo, como uma partitura musical – um espaço onde o cinema permite que o tempo e o espaço vibrem, se desmoronem, se sobreponham e se expandam.
Hoje, às 15:30, junta-te à visita guiada com a artista e o curador da exposição, Benjamin Weil. Mais tarde, às 17:30, ambos apresentam, sob a cobertura do CAM, o catálogo Impermanence in Fields, numa conversa com Ana Teixeira Pinto.
Vem celebrar connosco o Dia Internacional dos Museus! De 16 a 18 de maio, todas as atividades e exposições têm entrada gratuita.
Yesterday we opened 'Rosa Barba. Drawing Vocabularies', an exhibition that unfolds as a three-dimensional film and, at the same time, as a musical score – a space where cinema allows time and space to vibrate, collapse, overlap and expand.
Today, at 15:30, join a guided tour with the artist and the exhibition’s curator, Benjamin Weil. Later, at 17:30, under the CAM canopy, they will present the catalogue 'Impermanence in Fields' in conversation with Ana Teixeira Pinto.
Join us in celebrating International Museum Day! From 16 to 18 May, all exhibitions and activities are free.

Con Frame Time Open – allestita all'interno di un delicato progetto espositivo speciale ideato dall'artista – gli spazi del Museo si trasformano in una partitura architettonica di interconnessioni ritmiche attraverso il cinema, il linguaggio, il suono e la luce. La ricerca di Rosa Barba nel campo del cinema, della letteratura e della scienza e la sua esplorazione del tempo come materiale sia fisico che concettuale sottolineano il titolo stesso della mostra Frame Time Open, che offre una panoramica completa della metodologia artistica in continua evoluzione di Barba e ribadisce la sua posizione di figura pionieristica nell'arte visiva contemporanea.
La mostra celebra il suo approccio distintivo al tempo: «Considerato come un accumulo di eventi piuttosto che come una progressione lineare, e al cinema come dimensione spaziale e temporale», come lei stessa afferma.

With Frame Time Open–set within a delicate special exhibition design conceived by the artist–MAXXI’s spaces transform into an architectural notation of rhythmic interconnections through film, language, sound, and light. Rosa Barba’s research across cinema, literature and science; and exploration of time as both a physical and conceptual material underline the very title of the exhibition Frame Time Open which offers a comprehensive overview of Barba’s continuously evolving artistic methodology and reaffirms her position as a pioneering figure in contemporary visual art.
The exhibition celebrates her distinctive approach to time, «considered as an accumulation of events rather than a linear progression - and to cinema as a spatial and temporal dimension,» in her own words.

Curated by Francesco Stocch, ‘Frame Time Open’ opened on 26 November and, in addition to engaging in a unique dialogue with the incredible architecture of the museum by Zaha Hadid, questions the conceptual terms of cinematic space.

Myth and Mercury (2025) is a 35mm film co-commissioned by MAXXI and CAM – Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian and co-produced by Fondazione In Between Art Film and Hamburger Kunsthalle. On one hand, intergalactic particles or grains meeting a community’s fireworks -the explosions’ lights–momentary glows against night sky. On the other hand, extracts from Gramsci’s life in prison, memories of a revolutionary thinker as he approaches death; alongside the inner workings of the planet, bubbling scenes, volcanic land. While the film’s pace is slow, its stories carry millions of years, myths, stellar imagery, high tech machinery, and also realities of life, especially in Sicily. Myth and Mercury’s ending segment offering a vision of scientific futures almost comes at a sudden. Ultra-high energy neutrino detected in the Mediterranean, it has been declared. Records have been broken. Pulverized, even. Camera: Ruben Woodin Dechamps, Rosa Barba
