In 1967, Celant published his manifesto \"Notes for a Guerrilla War\" in which he coined the term \u003ci\u003eArte Povera\u003c\/i\u003e to classify Italy's artistic counter to the Pop art trends prevailing in the United States and the United Kingdom at the time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis publication provides a chronology of 34 exhibitions curated by Celant, beginning with the first Arte Povera gallery show in 1967 and closing with the sprawling 2018 Prada Foundation show \u003ci\u003ePost Zang Tumb Tuuum: Art Life Politics: Italia 1918-1943\u003c\/i\u003e. Appraising the exhibitions as well as the theoretical writings from their respective catalogs, this volume seeks to reconstruct the most important shows of Celant's career from initial conception to public reception. \u003ci\u003eThe Story of (MY) Exhibitions\u003c\/i\u003e explores the unique approach to curation that characterized Celant's life and work. His career trajectory is a nonlinear evolution of personal interpretation and historical documentation that prioritizes nontraditional media and strives to break down boundaries between different artistic languages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silvana Editoriale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788836647668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 712","brand":"Germano Celant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40493957382325,"sku":"9788836647668","price":63.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_32a5a196-c160-48cc-95db-66fa140f8ff5.jpg?v=1626157154","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/germano-celant-the-story-of-my-exhibitions-9788836647668","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
