The Luigi Pecci Center for Contemporary Art, a center devoted to presenting, collecting, documenting and supporting all Arts, and one of the most important museums of Contemporary Art in Italy, reopened in October 2016 after the completion of the futuristic spaceship-shaped extension by the Rotterdam-based Indonesian architect Maurice Nio. On the occasion of its inauguration, the center presented the exhibition The End of the World, curated by director Fabio Cavallucci with the cooperation of a large group of international advisors including Elena Agudio, Antonia Alampi, Luca Barni, Myriam Ben Salah, Marco Brizzi, Lorenzo Bruni, Jota Castro, Wlodek Goldkorn, Katia Krupennikova, Morad Montazami, Giulia Poli, Luisa Santacesaria, Monika Szewczyk and Pier Luigi Tazzi.

Through the works of over 50 international artists in a showing that spanned the entire exhibition area of the museum - over 3000 square meters - the exhibition projected the audience thousands of light-years away to view our current world as if it were a fossil, geological eras from the present time, resulting in a feeling of being suspended in a limbo between a now distant past and a still distant future. Throughout the exhibition, many expressions and artistic languages were interconnected: music, theatre, cinema, architecture, and dance represented not just as side events but as integral moments of the show, helping to build an immersive and captivating narrative. I curated an on-going programme of dance and theatre involving local and international artists.
