Starting with an interview to Vincenzo de Bellis, curator of “Ennesima“ at the Triennale in Milan; the exhibition includes over a hundred and twenty works by more than seventy artists and it offers a possible interpretation of the past fifty years of contemporary art in Italy, from the early sixties through to the present day.
In New York MoMA PS1 presents the fourth iteration of its landmark exhibition series, begun as a collaboration with The Museum of Modern Art in 2000. Recurring every five years,“Greater New York” has traditionally showcased the work of emerging artists living and working in the New York metropolitan area. The exhibition arrives in a city and art community that has changed significantly since the first version of the survey.
Rirkrit Tiravanija‘s installation in the Jumex Foundation Square in Mexico City aims at creating a link between the work and the viewer, turning the public space into a very active one where visitors are not passive observers but participants of a meeting.
