    • Summary:The exhibition explores the world of art and culture in Italy in the interwar years. Based on documentary and photographic evidence of the time, it reconstructs the spatial, temporal, social and political contexts in which the works of art were created and exhibited, and the way in which they were interpreted and received by the public of the time.0The investigation was carried out in partnership with archives, foundations, museums, libraries and private collections and has resulted in the selection of more than 600 paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, posters, pieces of furniture, and architectural plans and models created by over 100 authors. In "Post Zang Tumb Tuuum. Art Life Politics: Italia 1918?1943", these objects are displayed with period images, original publications, letters, magazines, press clippings, and private photographs - for a total of 800 documents - in order to question, as explained by Germano Celant, "the idealism in exhibitions, where works of art, either in museums or other institutions, are displayed in an anonymous, monochromatic environment, generally on a white surface, to connect them to period photographic testimony and reinsert them in their original historical communication space". 00Exhibition: Fondazione Prada, Milano, Italy (18.02.-25.06.2018).
