MACRO proposes a dive into the past, in those fabulous Sixties of protest and critical sense, a reservoir of reflections and new trends that would change the face of Western society forever. That is perhaps the right direction to look in order to draw new visions of our present. The time seems ripe to re-stage Yard, a work originally created in 1961 on the occasion of the group show Environments, Situations, Spaces at the Martha Jackson Gallery in New York. Back then, in the courtyard of the gallery, Allan Kaprow randomly arranged hundreds of used tires from which five piles of tar paper emerged that covered sculptures from Martha Jackson's collection. Visitors were encouraged to walk on the tires and throw them freely. The intervention challenged the idea of ​​the artist's individual power in favor of the community and denied the idea that the work must necessarily aspire to a definitive condition. It is perhaps a valid interpretation even today.
