For eight Saturdays from September 2010 to April 2011, eight critics and university lecturers will meet the MAXXI public to discuss the avant-gardes and Transavanguardia, Arte Povera and Conceptual Art, photography, the new media and the contemporary art system of the 21st century.

Paola Nicolin discusses the last 20 years

The last 20 years recounted through the relationships between artistic practices and a number of exhibitions and places of experimental exposition that are part of recent history, radically modifying the means of producing and consuming works of art. A path that, through a series of case studies, such as the Venice Biennale, Manifesta, Documenta and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris will lead us into the heart of today’s art system.
