Gianni Pettena — À propos — Slash Paris

Gianni Pettena work is that of an artist who is on familiar terms with conceptual art and land-art, most often bringing the human body into contact with the realities of the world. His approach has opened the way to an entire generation of architects and artists, making Pettena into a discreet yet fundamental figure for anyone born after the effervescent era of 1968. This was a period that gave rise to many rebellious movements, such as radical Italian architecture, of which Gianni Pettena, we can now observe with necessary hindsight, turns out to be the most forthright representative.
