The first Italian book on the history and conservation of installations written by a well-known art historian and curator and italy's best-known restorer of contemporary art.
The installation is an artistic practice that is hard to pigeon-hole as it employs a variety of methods, materials and procedures. Reconstructing its history means retracing the crucial stages in a course of action that, from the avant-gardes on, radically changed the concept of space in contemporary art and proposed a new relationship with the onlooker.
