“Forgetting by heart” is an expression coined towards the end of the 1960s by Vincenzo Agnetti (1926-1981). The title of the group exhibition that concludes the programming of MACRO under the artistic direction of Luca Lo Pinto borrows the phrase to suggest an approach to the results of a project that over a span of five years has led the museum, as an institution, to question its own identity, its own modes of production and relation with artists and the audience.
