In Conversazione

Among many other things, 2020 was a year of remote conversations: unable to travel (at times not even within our own city) we spoke with our loved-ones, friends, and colleagues by means of a myriad of apps, platforms, and programmes. So, for PLAYLIST, it makes sense that the series of talks that Flash Art produced for the last two editions of Arte Fiera has transformed into a video programme presenting remote conversations between their participants: not only art critics but – in the inclusive spirit of PLAYLIST – figures from contemporary culture in general. The conversations focused on a number of subjects that came up last year and, starting from these, they consider future scenarios. There has been a discussion of the intellectual legacy of Germano Celant (d. 2020) with Luca Cerizza, Eva Fabbris and Italo Rota, moderated by Andrea Viliani; of the increasingly close link between art and fashion with Gea Politi and the designers Giulia and Camilla Venturini of the Medea brand; of post-Covid scenarios with Stefano Boeri and Emanuele Coccia, moderated by Cristiano Seganfreddo; and lastly of display, a concept that unites numerous disciplines, with Anna Franceschini and Alessandro Bava, moderated by Vincenzo di Rosa.
