Crossroads is the – mostly visual – brief reconstruction of the many exhibitions, festivals and events that Fondazione ARIA has been organizing since 2011 to foster contemporary art and culture; the narration also includes the stories of the two hundred twenty artists and forty curators that have been featured during the last decade. All the projects share a common distinguishing element: all of them are looking for dialogue and for the construction of new relations.

This volume tells a story about commitment, bravery and effort; through the artworks created and/or featured by the Foundation, it records the possible process of achieving something absolutely original and innovative on the artistic and entrepreneurial national scene.

For every featured artist, a single piece of art was selected; a brief description precedes the featuring project. Crossroads is a sort of archive to preserve the historic memory of this “sui generis” experience, able itself to generate suggestions, reflections and growth in artistic, cultural, social and human sensibility.
