Two or three things I know about them. . . : Artists in Milan in the Eighties

According to curator Marco Meneguzzo, the years between 1986 and 1990 represent a crucial time for art in Milan, a period when the emergence of a system of young artists, critics, and dealers landed the city on the contemporary-art map. For this exhibition, Meneguzzo assembles paintings, sculptures, installation, and videos by some thirty artists who came of age during the period, a number of whom (like Stefano Arienti, Mario Dellavedova, Chiara Dynys, or Massimo Kaufmann) have gone on to make international reputations. The accompanying catalogue includes interviews with key players as well as documentation of the period’s most significant exhibitions.
