Covering forty years of movements, artists and ideas, no small task when the period chosen is from not long ago – from the sixties onwards, too close to be looked at with the sense of detachment which helps form an objective judgement. This is the cyclopean project taken on by the PAC in Milan who with the exhibition “Utopie quotidiane” curated by Vittorio Fagone and Angela Madesani, aims to show “man and his dreams from 1960 up to the present day”, the subtitle of the exhibition itself. Around 100 works have been chosen by 52 artists from Italy and abroad, called to witness and express the man’s individual and social history and to demonstrate human aspirations towards the myth of utopia.

In particular, looking at the last forty years of contemporary art places in evidence a return to the social which unexpectedly arose following experiences which were without a sense of commitment such as conceptual and pop art.

To complete the exhibition are a series of guided tours of galleries and artists’ studios, meetings which lie somewhere between theatre and music and a series of artist films from the seventies on show at the Spazio Oberdan.
