Conference “Piero Dorazio. Fantasia Colore Progetto”
Convegno “Piero Dorazio. Fantasia Colore Progetto”, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milano, 26 – 27 settembre 2019.
The international conference devoted to Piero Dorazio aims to focus on several aspects of his role as an artist and intellectual. Alongside a specific focus on some fundamental aspects of his artistic production, the three sessions into which the conference is structured will explore his relationships with the American art scene, where he held his first solo exhibitions in the early 1950s and developed important connections, and where he had the opportunity to teach at Penn State University in Philadelphia in the 1960s. His relationship with the European context will also be examined, as will his conception of art as part of a broader cultural vision shaped through dialogue with other arts, beginning with architecture.
