We often think that archives are static entities, located in a certain place and designed for the purposes of pure consultation and research. They are actually living entities, constantly evolving, searching for continuous connections, going outside their designated places to find new forms.

This is the case of the project Un/veiled, an archival research of the Cy Twombly Foundation come to life through two editions of exhibitions and performances that took place at the Fondazione Nicola Del Roscio in Rome.

The two editions featured many artists from different generations and from different artistic fields. They were all inspired and influenced by Cy Twombly's work in their own creative process. Each of these artists internalized that new language and translated it into their own work, without ever betraying themselves, but rather mixing this influence with their own personal experience and research, ultimately to trace new paths and generate new worlds, new possibilities. At the same time their eyes become further filters, new points of view from which to observe the works by Cy Twombly.

The slash used in the title conceptually refers to that liminal space in which the artist moves precariously and from which every creative process springs.

Un/veiled. Cy Twombly, Music, Inspirations

Un/veiled. Inside the creative process (after Cy Twombly)

It must be visible or invisible,

Invisible or visible or both:

A seeing and unseeing in the eye.
