Arrivi e partenze, Europa

Description:

Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, in the decade characterized by the crisis of the Western world, redefining the role and work of the artist is necessary. During this decade in which we've experienced the loss of innocence and the flattening of expressive solutions that have so characterized the passing of the millennium, the response seems to be a recovery of the value inherent in the work with its intrinsic worth. The advent of new media has not only produced new languages and new forms of art, but is radically transforming the methodology and content of all contemporary art, finally overcoming the impasse of Postmodernism. The published volume provides a critical map of the European artistic scene and verifies an epistemological redefinition of the same geographic norms. With layers of history and culture, which become states of mind and consciousness, this publication presents an assortment of images that illustrate the creative work of 69 artists who have had significant influence in the recent international scene. The publication is supported by a rich iconographic section. It also contains exhaustive appendixes, including technical information about the works, and the detailed curriculum of each artist.
