Δx Displacement is the theme of this year's Cinque Mostre.

Curated by Ilaria Gianni, this year's event is held under the collective title Δx Displacement and comprises collaborative projects installed throughout the academy's McKim, Mead & White Building.

The project unites works by visual artists, architects, designers, writers, archeologists, art historians and conservators, all of whom respond to the various interpretations of displacement, questioning the "poetics of the ordinary, unsettling a sense of belonging, and disrupting conventional relationships."

Cinque Mostre opens on Wednesday 20 February from 18.00-21.00. The exhibtiion can be visited subsequently at weekends until 31 March, Sat-Sun 16.00-19.00. For full details see AAR website.
