Azimut/h: continuity and newness
September 20, 2014–January 19, 2015.
A conceptual timeline for exhibition at
Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice.
"The exhibition AZIMUT/H. Continuity and Newness is a tribute to the post World War II neo-avantgarde in Italy, currently of widespread interest to critics, curators and the general public, and in particular to Azimuth, the gallery and the review founded in 1959 in Milan by Enrico Castellani(b. 1930) and Piero Manzoni (1933–1963). The exhibition reveals Azimuth’s central position in the panorama of Italian and international art of those years: like a creative earthquake it was one of the great catalysts of Italian and European visual and conceptual culture of the time and an intellectual bridge between a new, revolutionary generation and the most contemporary developments in art."

The timeline aims to represent the complex connections between artists, galleries and cities, before, during and after Azimut/h's experience.
