“Trione uses a very refined descriptive technique and an effective expedient: imagining impossible museums.” Emanuele Trevi, Corriere della Sera

In the non-homogeneous scenarios of the art of our time, Vincenzo Trione identifies the emergence of a trend: political art, summed up by the expression “artivism”. The protagonists are artist-intellectuals who follow different paths. Some of them create works aimed at bearing witness to the urgency of the news and the drama of migrants. Others build installations that pay attention to environmental and ecological issues. Others, like the street artists, propose colourful forms of urban redevelopment, in which they often comment on current facts and events: original commentary within contexts marked by marginalization and social problems. Different hypotheses to say with strength the reasons for civil commitment.
