Abstract
This study is about some artistic’s groups experiences in Seventies within the Italian landscape.
Artistic groups and autorun spaces at large were a broad and heterogenous phenomenon, risen from an aesthetical culture involved with social and political thinking.
This first organic approach on topic wants to find common aspects between the different selected experiences, through an historical and critical line. The final aim is to define and get an historical view on this hidden side of italian art history in seventies.
Two different kind of groups has been picked out. The first ones inherited practises form Fluxus Movement: Il Gruppo di Coordinamento (Rome, 1972-83), Zona non-profit art space (Florence, 1974-85), Laboratorio di Comunicazione Militante (Milan, 1976-78), il Collettivo Lavoro Uno (Milan, 1972-78) and Centro Lavoro Arte (Milan, 1978-81). They used new languages stemmed from the new media. The second ones moved from abstracts and optical visual languages: Studio d’Arte il Moro (Florence, 1971-87), Gruppo REC (Genoa, 1975-81), and Verifica 8+1 (Mestre, Venice, 1978-2008).
The relationship between the “artist” and society, art system, cultural, economic and visual contests, was a common aspect of groups, which performed this need in different ways, for example: autorun spaces, self-documentation, self-organization, and also getting public urban and media spaces, climbing over artistic boundaries, or just hanging on their own research and production in autonomy.
This reaserch has got a view on European contest including two groups wich partecipated in Venice Biennal 37th, a Catalan one: Grup de Treball (Barcelona, 1973-75), and a French one: Collectif d’Art Sociologique (Parigi, 1974-77).
Moreover, the research included critical overview about Italian contest since 60’s until today regarding artistic groups, finding out the necessity of an appropriate historical and preserving organization about Italian situation.
This argumentation introduces new questions and studies perspective about Italian artistic’s groups in Seventies and let the space for new goals. One of this is about art’s boundaries, not just regarding languages, but territories.
