The Reverse Grand Tour is an ambitious project realised by Italian artist Valerio Rocco Orlando over a period of a year thanks to an itinerant residence in some of Rome’s most prestigious foreign academies. In this exclusive preview, the artist is revealing the results of his research: a video-installation with portraits of artists from abroad who offer their personal viewpoints first-hand just like a chorus of conversations (Each artist speaks in his or her native tongue; the clip is sub-titled) and a series of photographs with views of studio interiors in which the concept of “room with a view” is completely reversed. The choice of curators Ludovico Pratesi and Angelandreina Rorro is of presenting the work of a new generation artist in relation to several historical works from the National Gallery of Modern Art collection linked to the Grand Tour as well as self-portraits and portraits by 19^th and 20^th century artists.
