That’s IT! is a new generational collective exhibition, curated by Lorenzo Balbi, displaying at MAMbo’s premises the works of 56 artists and collectives born from 1980 onwards as well as of several specially created new pieces. The exhibition will explore the most recent developments of Italian art through the use of several media. The exhibition, with a clearly generational cut, investigates the most recent developments in art in our country consistently with a precise positioning on the Italian and international scene that the MAMbo has chosen to give itself.

That’s IT! (IT as the European Union code that identifies the initials of Italy) does not develop, intentionally, around a unitary and monolithic concept, but offers questions and possible readings of the contemporary in an open, dialectical and magmatic perspective.
Does it still make sense to define an “Italian” artist today? What contributes to determining the definition of “Italianità“? Does this definition have consequences on the artist’s self-representation? Where and how do we put the geographical and generational border? The exhibition offers some of the possible answers.

The exhibition is part of Bologna Estate 2018, the program of activities promoted and coordinated by the Comune di Bologna.
