Instant Book: Italian Artists-New York

Edited by Renato Miracco.

This “instant survey” is a snapshot of a dynamic art scene that is constantly transmuting itself: New York's Italian contemporary art community. Intended as platform for artists born after 1960, Instant Book features among many others Paolo Canevari, Alessandro Codagnone, Rä di Martino, Angelo Filomeno, Stefano Losi, Eva and Franco Mattes, Massimo Kaufmann and Luca Buvoli.

FROM THE BOOK

"There are artists who have chosen to live and work in New York (for a sufficient period, if not forever) for many reasons: fertile soil, more meritocracy, increasing incentives, interesting meetings, escape from Italy, isolation and productivity. It is a city where you soon feel at ease and that makes you--whether you are a tourist or an artist--a protagonist.
"Then, after a sleepless night, I had the idea for the Instant Book, that is, a snapshot of the Italian artistic reality in New York in its broadest sense, where the 'artist' is one who makes us reflect on the mystery of things and forces us not to close our eyes, but urges us to 'read' the real in a different way."

Renato Miracco, excerpted from her introduction to Instant Book: Italian Artists-New York.
