The winning work of the Enel Contemporanea Award 2010 - a house inhabited by butterflies, based on the famous Farnsworth House by Mies van der Rohe and made by the Dutch art duo Bik Van der Pol (Liesbeth Bik and Jos van der Pol) - is featured at the official opening (Friday December 3rd 2010, open to the public starting on Saturday December 4th) of the new permanent wing of the MACRO designed by the French architect Odile Decq and supported by Roma Capitale, Department of Cultural Policies and Communication, and the Office for Cultural Assets. The project by Bik Van der Pol, created precisely for these particular spaces of the new MACRO - Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, constitutes another step in the partnership begun last year by Enel for the support of the Museum, with the objective of creating productive synergies between public and private initiatives for the promotion of contemporary art in Italy. "Are you really sure that a floor can't also be a ceiling?"--This is the title of the work, a quotation from M.C. Escher - was selected in March by an international jury as the winning work of the Enel Contemporanea Award 2010.--ENEL website.
