Contemporary Roman sacred art and places of worship, from 1968 to the present
This event forms part of the second stage of the conference curated by Teresa Calvano and Micol Forti, which follows the works started on 15th November in the Conference Room of the Vatican Museums.
Scholars of the history of architecture, art and the Church will face questions about issues concerning architecture and sacred art, starting from the relationship between liturgy and the arts, previously tackled by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) – the first important opening up of the Church to contemporary art.
To help narrow down such a vast theme, the new churches built in Rome over the last fifty years, from 1968 to 2018, were chosen as the Conference’s thematic focus: a significantly complex space of time for the evolution of the notion of sacred space.
Narrowing down this theme in a city like Rome, full of tensions and contrasts, social and urbanist, temporal and visual, forces us to reconsider the centrality of topics such as the boundaries of expressive freedom, the constraints of functionality, the role of an artwork’s commissioner and the institutions involved, the aspects of devotion and prayer, the formation of artists and the clergy, the concepts of style, of form, of decorum and of the ethics of images.
