Beyond the Borders A Dimension of Contemporary Art from the 60s to Today.
Breaking the limits, overturning the aesthetic categories, experimenting with new and unprecedented possibilities of making art and building a thought around it, is an aspect that accompanies the whole story of art designated as contemporary. The history of contemporary art is constantly cadenced by fractures, interruptions, disruptions, transformations, reversals of linguistic, technical, social, hermeneutical, geographical, critical, sensory, material and immaterial boundaries. In a time span that from the 60s of the last century until today, the course takes as its field of investigation the instance of exceeding the limit in contemporary artistic research by interrogating some works, artists and exhibitions considered exemplary. Against this background, the course intends to deepen the works, the artists, the exhibition events and the related theoretical and critical debate which from time to time discuss the fractures and the openings that in a different way have configured the flexible development of art and its historical reconstruction.
