The Generational Issue
The Generational Issue
Spring-Summer 25
Every creative act is the opportunity for a new beginning and a new meaning, with respect to the world that already exists. By defining new ideas and new horizons, Italian artist Alighiero Boetti thus summarized his idea of “bringing the world into the world” [“mettere al mondo il mondo”] and the potential of reinventing the world through art and action.
The Generational Issue is in this sense a generative issue, in its ability to bring the existing into the world. If every single creative act has value in itself, the sense of a community or of an entire generation of artists defines the very sense of the time we live in. But how do you define a new generation of artists?
A new generational cohort is created every twenty-twenty five years with its progeny of ideas, space-time coordinates, models. Here, just three years after the first volume, The Generational Issue continues its investigation into a new generation of artists, with the aim of developing, expanding and deepening research on the most innovative figures in contemporary art, and providing a lineup as extensive, plural and indicative as possible of artists of today and tomorrow. With over fifty under-35 leading figures, the new The Generational Issue explores an extremely diverse landscape of practices and languages, defining an abecedary of key figures of a new generational front called upon to interpret the time in which today’s art is created and produced. A fundamental and progressive archive of artists, who, joining those of the previous volume, interpret themes, urges and frontiers of the emerging generation.
