Abstract (English)With this exhibition of young artists from North America, Barilli traces developments in art at the beginning of the 21st century. Illustrated with 20th century works as reference points, his essay, like the exhibition, is divided into thematic sections on the Home, Painterliness, and the Hyperobject. The author finds that decorative motifs have returned to art, but with post-modern, posthuman objectives: old dichotomies no longer apply to the emerging hybrids and “erroneous” objects that transgress traditional classification. Texts in English and Italian. List of works. Biographical notes. Edit this item (login required): |
