Focus on Contemporary Italian Art is a workshop for the knowledge and experience of practices employed by Italian artists over the last two decades. The section's title (in English) refers to the contradictions hidden in the contemporary interest in (and competition among) local values within a global framework. The artists here included have worked after the successes of both Arte Povera and Transavanguardia.
