Lorenzo Madaro's 'Guerriglieri Sistematici' Collects Five Years of Art Criticism

Lorenzo Madaro, professor of contemporary art history at Brera Academy in Milan, has published 'Guerriglieri Sistematici. Rubrica incompleta d’arte contemporanea' with Krill Books. The anthology gathers interviews, articles, and critical texts from the last five years, originally appearing in La Repubblica, Arte Mondadori, Robinson, and Artribune. It features forty artists and critics, including Achille Bonito Oliva, Germano Celant, Mimmo Paladino, Fabio Sargentini, and David Tremlett. The book was launched at Biblioteca Bernardini in Lecce, with upcoming presentations at Casa degli Artisti in Milan in autumn and in Taranto after Christmas. Madaro cites Paladino, Laura Cherubini, and Celant as key influences. He emphasizes the importance of visiting artists' studios and exhibitions as essential training for understanding contemporary art. The volume covers the decade 2010–2020, a period of significant historical, cultural, and social change.
