In the contemporary panorama, exhibition action can be interpreted as a process that does not limit itself to making works or notions available, but allows us to discover, unmask, unveil what lies beyond the evidence of artfully concocted scenarios; not a technical datum, therefore, but a language used as an autonomous code, an authoritative critical tool to nourish and at the same time debunk the ‘modern myths’ put to the test by the contradictions of the present. This book, first and foremost testimony to a didactic method made up of tests, exploratory movements and above all people, breaks down and recomposes the functions assigned to exhibition practices in years of rapid cultural and technological transformations and measures itself against the reasons, implications and contradictions that, since the beginning of the new millennium, have multiplied their use and presence.
