The VOLUME! Foundation was established in 1997 in a former glass factory in the heart of Trastevere. Founded by Francesco Nucci with the support of artists, curators and creatives, the space soon has become a laboratory of ideas, proposing an unusual and unclassifiable project: giving artists the chance to consider space as a living body, with its peculiarities, its history, its versatility, being able to rethink the space, modifying it so that it becomes part of the work, creating something different every time that can stimulate ever-new emotions in the viewer. Artists are free to change the architecture of the space in order to create something new and unique. The space is never brought back to its original state, but manages to preserve the memory of its past through the layers of the walls. The fundamental purpose of the Foundation is to support the public culture idea, to restore a dialogue with art that can include fertile relationships with other intellectual fields.
