Statement The aim of the Maria Morganti Archive Committee (founded in 2023 and registered in RUNTS decree No. 881/2024 - repertory 125358 - section ‘g’ - Altri Enti del Terzo Settore) is to conserve, develop, safeguard and promote the artist’sworks and intellectual production included in the archive as a work in evolution (the artist is still active). Memorising, archiving and being archived are an integral part of Morganti’sartistic practice.
The archive is not only a tool for cataloguing and documenting the work; it is also both the paradigm and the result, the cataloguer and the stimulus of the artistic research. The committee manages it by treating it like a work and by handlingthe release of authentic archival certificates and drafting the general catalogue, institutionalising and embracing the artist’s idea of a dynamic and generative archive.
Each individual work is the fragment of a whole that is recomposed in the archive. The archive is catalogued as a work within the archive itself. The archive, which contains files of all the works, as well as documentation and the artist’s reflections, is available online.
