Giulio Paolini

Active since the early 1960s, Giulio Paolini has often been identified with arte povera, though his explorations are more ascribable to conceptual art. His multimedia analyses of the instruments and language of artistic activity have enabled him to reexamine a vast repertoire of images, quotations from a past that renews itself and regains immediacy through reflection on itself. Here he gives lessons on the idea of representation.
