Produktbeschreibung
Throughout Europe there are dramatic cutbacks in the public spending on culture. Is the Italian situation soon to be the future of all Europeans? How much influence did Silvio Berlusconi's powerful media empire have on the future of the arts and its cultural institutions? To find out, Dutch artists Rob Hamelijnck and Nienke Terpsma traveled through Italy. 'Art in the Age of Berlusconi' is their travelogue through Italian cities and country side villages. Each chapter opens with edited entries of combined travel journals, containing descriptions of experiences, comments and thoughts, quotes, followed by conversations. Visual contributions by Italian artists are also added.
