15° Quadriennale
19 June / 14 September
The Quadriennale exhibitions periodically document the most significant trends in current art being made in Italy. As such, they are a sort of seismographic record of artistic activity that helps contextualise the most important developments in the field of visual arts, and provide an idea of the possible future evolutions. The 2008 edition pays particular attention to young and mid-career artists who emerged at the end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s.
