Arman's assemblages from the Kleenex Bartolini, from tapestries to Boetti cans César, Gilardi of polyurethane, polyester by Pomodoro thirty-five works collected in the exhibition of contemporary materials exemplify the range of experimentation characteristic of current trends art and its preservation methods.
The abandonment of the canvas and use of materials until a few years ago were considered non-artistic mark the final farewell of Western art from the world of mimetic representation of reality.
The exhibition on the one hand provide the public with tools for critical analysis focused on the other explaining the decision to use ephemeral materials markedly abnormal and giving up what are considered 'classics' on the basis of established academic practices. They all artists in this exhibition opposes alternative creative practices that affect directly the sense of artistic vitality in contrast to the modern cultural system increasingly characterized by a voracious consumer attitude towards the exchange of goods in general and of art objects in particular .
This reflection also mark the perspective of contemporary restoration: a critical action in effect that deals with the knowledge of a work from a rigorous and methodological approach towards the structure of matter.
The materials of contemporary art is the first volume of a series of catalogs, enriched by critical essays by experts, combines an educational approach, the scientific investigation and treatment of a real book's graphic art.
