Theatre of fragments is a new museum on the MAXXI Museum site, Milan, where the NM (new museum) is considered both a ‘building’ (a museum) and ‘object of display’ (a Rossi exhibition). The NM is organised by the curatorial strategy called Theatre. Theatre is a strategy about representing the Rossi
work (from the catalogue) in 1:1 artifacts, where collectively the artifacts are a theatre of fragments. The NM is an experiment of typological memory & morphology and the Rossi artifacts’ absorption within the MAXXI site.
