Artist of unique historical relevance for contemporary art, Pistoletto is one of the most notable members of the Italian group Arte Povera.

Avant-garde movement, the idea of ​​the Arte Povera movement, which stood out in painting, sculpture, installation and performance, proposed a renewed aesthetic reflection on the artistic product to "impoverish art" by bringing its ephemerality to light through simple materials and natural. Born in Italy in the 1960s, the term "arte povera" was coined by the critic and historian of Italian art Germano Celant in 1967 in the catalog of the exhibition "Arte povera - ImSpazio", held in Venice.

The mediation will be by Paola Colacurcio, who organized exhibitions and edited art catalogs and with singular importance in the transit between the Brazilian and Italian arts. The conversation will be conducted in Italian, with consecutive translation.
