Giuseppe Chiari. Ediz. Multilingue

The volume is dedicated to the work of Giuseppe Chiari (1926-2010), an eclectic and experimental artist and composer from Florence, Italian promoter of the historical avant-garde of the research art. The volume features numerous images (about 900 works) and an exhaustive section dedicated to the appendices with a biography and an ample bibliography. An introduction by Enrico Crispolti and the critical essays by Fabio Migliorati in collaboration with Mario Chiari, the artist's son complete the volume. "The work of Giuseppe Chiari is based on a discourse on the freedom to act (to make art), ritualized in experience, as reference to human constancy, closely linked to the social and political dimension of things, all through the performance of the work, the action of the object, in the movement which is accomplished from the musical intervention to the visual one. [...] Technique is resolutely rejected by the artist: because "Playing is easy" (1965), "Art is easy" (1972).
