In the wake of the homonymous project realized at Villa Medici (Rome 2019) #80 | #90 & more continues its investigation of a particular moment of art in Italy between the last decade of the 20th and the beginning of the 21th century. A moment close to our time, but sufficiently mature to be considered from a proper distance. Not a definitive perspective, of course, nevertheless indicative of a generation, delineated through the work of ten artists born around the 1980s and 1990s, in particular with regard to the production of videos.

The artists belong to a common historical and social background that each one interprets personally through different languages, techniques and contents. It derives from a creative panorama dinstincty articulated where, except for a few common orientations (a certain attention to the confrontation between the individual and technology, an analysis of scientific laws that govern the life of materials, a renewed interest for the human figure) heterogeneity prevails over a common vision of reality, in harmony with the multiplicity of intent that characterizes the present time.
