Edoardo Di Mauro – Paola Russo
UNA DIMENSIONE ETICA

Description

In an era of globalization, not only economic and political but also cultural, art, with the public dimension, rediscovers its didactic vocation and its ethical purpose. Public art, which confronts the metropolitan environment to build new narratives, has experienced significant growth in recent years in Europe and Italy. In particular, a language such as that of Street Art has been able to revive itself after the explosive beginnings of the seventies and eighties, responding to the need for renewal of the language of art from the shallows of a neoconceptual almost always the epigone of historical experiences. This essay, created by Edoardo Di Mauro together with the young scholar and curator Paola Russo, who developed the theme of relational art together with numerous and qualified interviews, traces a concise but comprehensive history of public art, from the end of the nineteenth century to our days.
