The Venue
This public sculpture invites us to rethink the role of the monument today: it is dedicated to a common family from Trento, selected through a public competition organized by Gillian Wearing in the context of her solo show curated by Fabio Cavallucci and Cristina Natalicchio at Galleria Civica di Arte Contemporanea di Trento in 2007. The selection involved families that, for the number of members, age, work and lifestyle, could be recognized as representative of the entire Trentino population. The work represents the Giuliani family, and it is indeed a monument to the ordinary in which the passers-by the square can recognize themselves.
