- Title
Contemporary Art in Italian Universities: a History of Art and Society.
- Authors
Salvatori, Gaia
- Abstract
European universities traditionally had two main tasks: teaching and research. Recently, another task (the so called 'third mission') is being considered to reflect the involvement of university with society. This paper analyzes how contemporary art can contribute to this third mission by means of museological projects and art historical research and practices. Here the particular case of Italian universities is considered with their collections of contemporary art and their participation in public art experiences. By considering the initiatives that have been developed in Italy in the past decades, the present attempts to employ contemporary art for the 'Third Mission' can be better ascertained.
