The project won the "Per Chi Crea" - Edition 2023 call for proposals promoted by SIAE for the production of new works and is inaugurated on October 12, 2024, on the occasion of the celebration of the Day of the Contemporary.

The permanent site-specific installation was created inside a residency by Guglielmo Maggini in the workshop of MIC Faenza and designed specifically for the Museum's entrance staircase in dialogue with Burri's large panel.

In ceramic and resin it partially covers the staircase by flooding part of the marble steps with a liquid carpet of matter in different colors and volumes.

Guglielmo Maggini's work takes place on the border between installation and sculpture. His forms ironically con-fuse different materials in an organic proliferation of elements and gestures. His research starts from the experimentation between materials in the opposition between nature/artifice to arrive at an intimate dimension of the relationship between sensuality and tactility.

In an imaginary and personal place where space is understood as a plastic volume, the artist aims to investigate the emotional perception of time in a constantly liquid cross-reference between classical heritage, the natural world and references to pop culture.
