Territories of performance - processes and practices in Italy (1967-1982)

Part of the Focus Series by MAXXI Arte Collection, this volume presents the mapping carried out by Lara Conte and Francesca Gallo of performative practices in Italy between 1967 and 1982. At the same moment, it is a historical survey that renders the territorial and geographical developments of this until now non-existent and fluid archive of performances legible and consultable on various levels. From politics to anthropology, and from myth to art history, it provides a topographical and argumentative reading through photographs, drawings, images, videos, and oral accounts as pure narrative tools. An exploration of both collective memory and archival documentation.
