This volume presents the rearrangement of the interior of Giacomo Balla's home in Rome curated by MAXXI and the interventions made in the museum by eight contemporary artists in dialogue with the legacy of the Futurist master.

"Like the old Renaissance and baroque workshops, Casa Balla became that crucial place — without which museums and galleries and books would not exist — in which the secrets of the craft are handed down and experience of the past becomes part of the future. The apartment on Via Oslavia is neither a document nor a monument, but the clear and three-dimensional image of the mind that lived in it and at the same time imagined it ... There is nothing of the museum about its duration. It is a living ruin, one of those extremely rare ruins that seem to come to us from the future: as if it had taken a wrong turn and gone the long way round." (Emanuele Trevi)
