Reversing the Eye, Arte Povera and Beyond 1960-75: photography, film, video: over 250 artworks, 49 artists, 2 venues, 1 exhibition!

A riposte to American Pop Art and contemporaneous with the activity on the international conceptual scene, Arte Povera was, as Celant put it, a search for a “free form of expression committed to contingency, to events, to the present", that would bring art and life together. And while photography, film and video are only rarely associated with Arte Povera, they were in fact widely used by members of the movement and so can equally be approached as "poor" media. Photography becomes picture, document, report, sculpture, book, album; videos and films become allegory, projection, installation—like so many spaces enlisted to create a new field of investigation, to transform life into the metaphor of a quest.
