Lapidarium - Waiting for the Barbarians
Sculpture by Mexican artist Gustavo Aceves, next to the Colosseum
Mexican artist Gustavo Aceves sculptural work "Lapidarium. Waiting for the barbarians" makes a stop in Rome,
the imposing sculptures (40 works, from 3 to 8 meters in height and up to 12 meters long) dialogue now with the great history of the Capital, invading the Colosseum, Trajan's Markets, the Forum and the Arch of Constantine.
The artist's aim is to represent, with his 'army' of bronze sculpted horses, marble, wood, iron and granite, the eternal human migration. One way to think about abuse and violence towards people of other nations, often considered "barbarians" and invaders. The exhibition, curated by Francesco Buranelli and on display until January 7 2017
