With Jochen Becker, Amir Husak and Kimberley Kinder. Introduced by Hannah Kelley.

Jochen Becker's talk will focus on his latest curatorial project "S.M.U.R. : Self Made Urbanism Rome". S.M.U.R. is an exhibition exploring the Via Casilina, an arterial road in Rome running south-east from the central Porta Maggiore to the city’s borders and beyond. The area fascinated Romantic artists who viewed this urban-rural landscape as complementing the historical and cultural densification with classical temples and inner city palazzi. The artists taking part in the S.M.U.R. project apply contemporary methods to investigate this historical terrain. In this process, they are continuing art history in a new way. In an exchange with scholars and city activists, they explore the self-built and self-organised city expanding here over the last hundred years.
