The collector<\/a>&#8221; is currently on show (from 19 October to 12 January 2014). The exhibition presents, for the very first time, a rich selection from the vast collection of archeological items of the tenor Evangelist Gorga (1865-1957) preserved in the Museo Nazionale Romano. There are about 1800 objects on display, a small part of an entire collection that documents the utopia of the Collector: to posses and to catalog the knowledge of archaeological objects, from artworks to fragments of glass, pottery, bronzes and marbles. Gorga had only one desire: to build &#8220;the museum of all time&#8221;. The list of his collection was titled &#8220;The encyclopaedic museum&#8221;. Visiting this exhibition today has three effects:<br \/>\n1) To investigate, through this extreme example of compulsive collector, the relationship between knowledge and possession which animates many collectors;<\/p>\n<p>2) To realize how the concept of classification, derived from the positivist and post -Enlightenment thoughts, is now difficult for us to grasp ;<\/p>\n<p>3) To reflect on the differences between web, catalogue and encyclopedia: the first category (the web) can include the other two, and &#8211; at the same time &#8211; be their perfect antithesis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you been to the Encyclopedic Palace at the Venice Biennale?
