Audio of the conference

The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss the artistic practice of Maria Morganti, painter-archivist. Her tendency to accumulate and record has materialized in the digital platform Un archivio del tempo, freely accessible to the public. Continuously evolving, the archive serves both as a cataloging tool and as a work of art, where each of Morganti's works is a fragment that recomposes itself within the archive, becoming an integral part of the artist's Archive-Work.
