The exhibition “Recycling Beauty,” illustrates the reuse of Greek and Roman sculptures in post-antique contexts from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. In the video directed by Beniamino Barrese, the exhibition’s preparation phases are accompanied by the words of curator Salvatore Settis and exhibition designer Rem Koolhaas, who reflect on how the classical is not only a legacy of the past, but an element capable of influencing our present and future. The exhibition “Recycling Beauty” is on view until 27 February at Fondazione Prada Milano.
