| description | 1968 marks the beginning of a social, political and cultural revolution, with all of its internal contradictions. It engulfs the artistic world on both sides of the Atlantic in a veritable transformation, a cathartic rebirth crystalized through the reconfiguration of traditional canons.

Inspired by codes of common origins, minimalism, conceptual art, arte povera and land art nonetheless carry diversity in their approaches and methods; yet they coexist and coalesce, in an intricate weave of exchange and rhythmic syncronicity. |
