Le Macchine, gli Dei e i Fantasmi
Musei Capitolini, Centrale Montemartini
Panel discussion of the work with curator Ludovico Pratesi and Peter Benson Miller, Andrew Heiskell Arts Director, Monday, October 7, 6:30pm at the Academy
Opening reception Wednesday, 9 October, 6pm to ???
Six monumental works printed on translucent silk were created expressly to be installed in the museum's industrial rooms. They are inspired by Cronin's recent series dedicated to the rediscovery of the American neoclassic artist Harriet Hosmer (1830-1908) author of the Judith Falconer (1857-1858) tomb in Sant’Andrea delle Fratte church in Rome and many other scupltures.
Curator Ludovico Pratesi writes "Cronin’s works are ghosts.They have an immaterial presence…images floating within the space, creating and suggesting a new dialogue between time, memory and desire. The exhibition is a mix of time, a mix of meaning, a renewal of space. The placement of the works throughout the museum will create a strong dialogue between past and present, archaeology and industry, and of course contemporary art.”

Lecture by Laurie Rush, FAAR'11
There will be a free public lecture by recent Fellow, Laurie Rush, an archaeologist and anthropologist who has worked for the U.S. Department of Defense as a Cultural Resources Manager since 1998. She has extensive field experience in safeguarding important and ancient cultural sites within the U.S. concerning indigenous native peoples, and in the current areas of conflict in the Middle East. Her projects in Rome primarily included engagement with the Italian Carabinieri in their archeological protection program and research in the the recovery and protection of art and architecture in the aftermath of WW II.
