Participation is the focal point in all of the artistic works of Michelangelo Pistoletto, the great exponent of Arte Povera, and he has given his ideas a new dimension in the form of the work and research group “Cittadellarte” created by him: an open network that, while dividing work, education, communication, art, food, politics, spirituality and economy, at the same time focuses on production and communal inspiration without rigidly dividing the various spheres. How do artistic interventions in global realities work, and what is the power of the collective?
“Divide and change” brings together very different socially active artist groups in an organically connected, urban structure, in which artistic participation becomes the starting point for an examination of democratically lived civil society, extending into real urban space.
