Museo per l’Immaginazione Preventiva – EDITORIALE is the show-cum-manifesto which reopened MACRO and introduced the curatorial work of the new artistic director Luca Lo Pinto. Through the works on display, featured with a view to anticipating the themes to be developed over a three-year programme, the exhibition also opened up a broader reflection on the identity of the contemporary museum institution, inviting visitors to let themselves be guided by the artists’ visions and the questions they pose. The publication Editorial brings together the voices of ten of the most important contemporary Italian writers, who transformed their visit to the show into a narrative, imagining further dialogues with the works displayed. The book, deliberately bereft of imagery, reflects on the exhibition exclusively through the use of the word.
