Moon

An attentive, thoughtful reading of key passages in the history of Italian contemporary art through the work of some of its liveliest practitioners. From Conceptual art and Arte Povera in the 60s to tableaux vivants and the birth of Transavanguardia in the 70s and 80s, Luna Moon ranges forward to cover the new Roman school and the latest luminaries. It's an excellent introduction and reference to an important bit of recent art history, assembled at Benevento's new museum of contemporary art, ARCOS, which brings together artists including Luigi Ontani, Mimmo Paladino, Giuseppe Penone, Pedro Cabrita Reis, Atelier Van Lieschout and Erwin Wurm.
