Statement and Statute

Statement 
The aim of the Maria Morganti Archive Committee (founded in 2023 and registered in RUNTS decree No. 881/2024 - repertory 125358 - section ‘g’ - Altri Enti del Terzo Settore) is to conserve, develop, safeguard and promote the artist’sworks and intellectual production included in the archive as a work in evolution (the artist is still active).

Memorising, archiving and being archived are an integral part of Morganti’sartistic practice.

The archive is not only a tool for cataloguing and documenting the work; it is also both the paradigm and the result, the cataloguer and the stimulus of the artistic research. The committee manages it by treating it like a work and by handlingthe release of authentic archival certificates and drafting the general catalogue, institutionalising and embracing the artist’s idea of a dynamic and generative archive.
The archive, which contains files of all the works, as well as documentation and the artist’s reflections, is available online.

Artist Declaration

I consider the Archive itself an Artwork and that is why I have decided to catalog it within it as such. I consider each individual Work as the fragment of a whole that is reassembled in the Archive and that is why I oblige whenever a Work of mine is exhibited or published to affix this caption: 

Every work published in this website (or exhibited in this show or published in this book) is both an independent and accomplished work in itself and part of the artist’s work-archive ‘An archive of time’ www.mariamorganti.it’.

Scientific Committee Declaration
The committee members declare themselves witnesses and actors in the life of the Work-Archive, which they acknowledge as the artist’s creative universe. At the same time, they are guarantors of its legal foundation, assuming the role of interpreters of the space of thought and ambiguity between these two dimensions.
