Over the last forty years of the 20th century, Italy underwent a rapid and often-conflicting societal and cultural transformation. The country witnessed significant economic growth and globalization, the emergence of a consumer-driven society, and the rise of the digital economy. Art played a role in anticipating, documenting, and challenging these changes, while maintaining a strong connection to its historical roots and engaging in a dynamic dialogue with experimental innovations from around the world. Art experiences in Italy have often adopted a distinctive and marginalized character, deliberately seeking out their own independent sphere of influence.
The course delves into this period by emphasizing the most significant research directions and notable personalities in the arts, engaging in discourse with criticism and theory, as well as with other fields such as literature, cinema, and the political and social climate of the country. Exhibitions, works, and important texts will help to explore an artistic panorama that is often just beginning to be analyzed in historical and critical terms.
The course will involve trips to museums and other sites of cultural significance in Rome and other cities. The schedule for these visits will be established in October.
