Scope and Contents

Wikipedia: Vincenzo Agnetti (1926-1981) began his career as a poet. Starting in the 1960s, through the use of various media (pictures, performance, voice recordings, printed texts, graphic interventions on objects, prints on sheets of black Bakelite) he defined the contours of a conceptualism Italian who escapes from the rigors tautological and looking aseptic lot of conceptual art, for example, of American origin. The conceptualism of Agnetti is oriented towards forms, images and content more personal and existential matrix pessimistic, through anthropological analysis of language and at times expressing feelings of alienation, lack of communication and aphasia, for example in the series of works Villages Are Different (1974) or in its Autotelefonata (1977). He suffered a sudden death. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
