The show "Young Italian Artists at the turn of the millennium" aims to offer a view on the contemporary art in Italy of the last decade, when different generations of artists started to work.The show springs from the experience of the "Italian Studio Program" held at the PS1 New York from 1998 to 2004: each artist exhibited was invited to submit his work to the studio program. 


The "Studio Program" represented a leading experience of supporting the Italian art, considering its peculiarities and features and the undertaking and continuity is the chief exemple on how to support young Italian art in an international outline.
