Comparing to past editions this year’s Enel Contemporanea has decided to give more chances to those who follow and appreciate art, and even to those who know it less. Led walls have been installed to let you share your views and comments on Enel Contemporanea, situated in Rome, Galleria “Alberto Sordi” (Piazza Colonna) and Macro Future (Via di Monte Testaccio). You’ve already reached a huge number! Don’t stop writing what you think about 2009 edition, about Doug Aitken’s work and about our concept of Energy and Contemporary Art.

Inside the four walls of Frontier, the installation Doug Aitken conceived for Enel Contemporanea 2009, video beams will screen images taken from a movie shot by Doug in Rome and Los Angeles. Only for our Blog’s users, waiting for the public opening on October 23rd,  we have reserved an exclusive sneak preview of Doug shooting on the Roman set.

Work never stops on the Tiberina Island. Today Doug Aitken’s art work Frontier will have its wooden structure completed. Follow day by day the art work construction, only on our blog. 

Francesco Bonami has been Enel Contemporanea’s curator since the beginning. He stands on the peak of contemporary art scene and has directed the Venice Biennale in 2003. He now lives and works in New York and this year’s Enel Contemporanea edition will have him as a curator. We met him to know more about this initiative and about Aitken’s work. Here is part of his interview.
