"Teatro delle Mostre" photographically documents a happening held at the Tartaruga Gallery in Rome from May 6-31, 1968. Each day featured an event conceived and interpreted by a different exponent of the Italian artistic avant-garde. The event aimed to subvert the concept of art work as merchandise and to question and redefine the role of the art gallery, the gallery owner, the critic ,the author and the viewer.

The text is in Italian.
