The National Automobile Museum presents in the Project Room - from Friday, January 31 to Sunday, May 18 - the exhibition C/ART. The art of playing with the automobile. The exhibition - created by the contemporary artist Robert Kuśmirowski and curated by Guido Costa - consists of an environmental installation in which the artist, by exhibiting toy cars and small cars from various Italian collections and museums, creates a unique dialogue between art and automotive historical memory. The exhibited cars cover a period from the late 19th century to the 1990s. The visitor is welcomed into a deliberately eccentric and disorderly environment: an excess of incomplete models, worn-out tools, and almost forgotten machinery. Old metal nets replace traditional shelves, evoking the atmosphere of a chaotic workshop of a bizarre collector. The path gradually develops towards the idea of a perfect exhibition. Objects find order, meaning, and celebrate the transition from childhood to a form of mature and conscious collecting. In this transformation, one is immersed in a reflection on memory and the significance of the automobile as an object of worship. From a passionate and compulsive accumulation typical of childhood to an orderly systematization of the collected pieces: the exhibition explores the evolution of the collector and the emotional value of the specimens sought with dedication. Robert Kuśmirowski is a contemporary artist born in 1973 in Łódź, Poland. His solo exhibitions have traveled the world, from the Barbican Center in London to the Kunsthalle in Vienna, from the Palais de Tokyo in Paris to the New Museum in New York.
