The exhibition Rewild presents the second of three appointments of the European project Repairing the Present curated by Manuel Cirauqui “to promote dialogue between science, technology and art as key players in the exploration of new scenarios for ecosystem improvement”. The first appointment, REWORLD, at the MEET – Digital Culture Centre in Milan, is now followed by REWILD, currently on view at the MAXXI Museum in Rome, a project aimed at “restoring feral models in domesticated ecosystems”, to “emphasise the contamination between natural and synthetic, artificial and organic, animal and mineral, artificial and organic, animal and mineral, towards renewed forms of becoming in the Anthropocene”.

All the works are projects resulting from residencies and direct contact with the territory, where the artists dialogued with and were supported by experts. In Rome in residence were Olga Kisseleva, internationally known for her pioneering work with media art, and the young Austrian artist Susi Gutsche. With them, the projects of Samira Benini Allaouat, Penelope Cain, Filip Van Dingenen and David Shongo, Adriana Knouf, Lugh O’Neill, Studio Lapatsch Unger & Johanna Schmeer were presented, each proposing a different angle on the forms of becoming.

All works, from different angles, point in a direction where everything invisible plays an active role in shaping our future, something we must take care of by first preparing ourselves to listen.
