CAMPO UMANO Public Art 50 years after
21-22 September 2019
Villa Olmo,
via Simone Cantoni 1, Como
A project curated by Luca Cerizza | Zasha Colah
Conceived as a two-day conference and an exhibition, Campo Umano - Public Art 50 years after, celebrated the 50th anniversary of Campo Urbano,
the art-event curated by Luciano Caramel that
occupied the public spaces of the Italian town of Como for one day on 21
September 1969, reconsidering its merits and failures in its wider
historical and artistic context. At the same time, the project seeked to
continue the debate of what remains at stake in a social and
technological context 50 years on, in which the same ideas of public
space and public good, the concepts of collectivity and community, have
profoundly mutated with respect to the time of Campo Urbano.
