the first European festival on creativity

2019 Programme

Event #35

Ilaria Bonacossa, Massimo Bartolini

City art versus outskirts art

Contemporary art production polarized itself in a relationship between the city and the outskirts. Taking account of the recent climate emergencies and the new digital ubiquity, how do artistic performances and practices diversify? How does the centrality of megalopolis interact with the works created outside the art’s centers of power? A curator, Ilaria Bonacossa, and an artist, Massimo Bartolini, will investigate the transformations happening in the present cultural and productive panorama.
