Massimiliano Gioni: my job is a typo

In the third and final live episode of Parola Progetto from New York, we sit on the couch at SalottoNYC with a protagonist of contemporary art: Massimiliano Gioni.
A visionary curator, artistic director of the New Museum in New York, and director of the Trussardi Foundation in Milan, Massimiliano takes us on a journey into the profession of contemporary art curation.

From his teenage passion for pop art to groundbreaking projects like the 2013 Venice Biennale, we explore the world of a professional who has redefined contemporary curatorial practice. We’ll uncover the meaning of “uncomfortable art” and how the museum can become a gymnasium for navigating complexity.
