Major works, small formats

Since the 1960s, art can no longer be only an image. It is, also, a question.

The 17 works displayed in this room continue and expand the answers to the question posed in the exhibition in Room 1: where are images taking us? Ultimately, the show aims to question images about their ambitions: what do they want or are able to do? Denounce? Turn into objects? Give up meaning? Make one think? Unsettle? Convince?

To do all this, they have at their disposal a wide range of different materials, techniques and media, such as painting, photography, collage, paper, ink, silkscreen, steel, copper, wood, gouache, methacrylate and plastic. Three-dimensional works and sculptures have been a very important part of the artistic work of experimentation and research; often as a preparatory trial to make the leap into public space and blend with the dynamics of urban life.
