Ecological Perspectives in Contemporary Italian Art
Who are the contemporary protagonists of the ecological scene in Italy? What are the central topics and concerns? From street art to the gallery space, this lecture presents an overview of the avant-garde Italian artists whose work challenges preconceived notions of ecology and nature in order to sensitize and mobilize audiences. We look at the work of Francesco Simeti, Eugenio Tibaldi, Iena Cruz, Giorgia Lupi, and Andreco.
