The show

On the occasion of International Women's Day, the Hendrik Christian Andersen Museum, directed by Maria Giuseppina di Monte and belonging to the State Museums Directorate of the city of Rome, directed by Mariastella Margozzi, presents to the public the exhibition of Sabina Alessi and her working group, made up of the students of the decoration course of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome.

The exhibition stems from the agreement signed between the Hendrik C. Andersen Museum and the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, aimed at cooperation and exchange in the name of enhancing the Museum, young artists and their teacher, Sabina Alessi, Italian-Belgian who lives and works in Rome.


The project stems from the attendance of the Museum by the students of the Academy who have explored, during the visits, the themes relating to the artistic and human path that Hendrik Christian Andersen has left us as a legacy. The exhibition stands in counterpoint to the utopian ideals underlying the World Center of Communication project through which Andersen wanted to “create a new Bible, something that helps those who will come after us feel their spirit as a part of that of God. [...] demonstrate how differences [...] make no difference”, as emerges from the typewritten diary of her sister-in-law Olivia Cushing.

The seven deadly sins represented by seven works, each well characterized and distinct in shape, color and material - from the marble oval for pride to the ceramic triangle for envy, just to name a few - are therefore in contrast with the "white dreams of another world" by Hendrik Christian Andersen who, although not expressly, pursued an ideal of art and life based on the glorification of virtue, as some evocative passages from Olivia's Diary can well understand which exalt her dedication and the effort to achieve a higher and spiritual purpose.
