Description

In a compelling exploration of ephemeral art, two prominent voices in the field, Barbara Ferriani and Marina Pugliese, delve into the intricate history and preservation challenges associated with installations that are designed to be temporary. Their insightful examination draws attention to the delicate balance between artistic expression and the need for conservation amidst the fast-paced world of contemporary art.

The authors weave together a narrative that highlights the evolution of these transient artworks, emphasizing how they challenge traditional notions of permanence in art. They consider the role of the environment, the audience, and the intention behind each piece, illustrating how these factors contribute to the fleeting nature of installations.

Accompanying their research is a thought-provoking introductory essay by Germano Celant, which sets the stage for understanding the significance of ephemeral art in today’s cultural landscape. This collaboration enriches the dialogue surrounding not only the works themselves but also their relevance and impact on both artists and viewers.

Through a blend of historical context, critical analysis, and a forward-thinking approach to preservation, this work urges readers to reconsider how we engage with and maintain the artistry that exists only for a moment, yet leaves a lasting impression.
