Being Utopia the subject of the 2018 edition of ArtVerona, the exhibition Chi utopia mangia le mele (Those who utopia eat apples) takes its start from this, a topic which belongs to the structure itself of the artworld and affects all its disciplines.  Historical artists are exhibited together with young ones in a selection of works from the Sixties till today which includes photography, installation, painting, sound and sculpture.  New productions are presented as well as re-makings of ‘historical’ works such as Una domenica a Rivara (1992), the large bedsheet, early work of a young Maurizio Cattelan, and Tumbleweeds Catcher by Gianni Pettena , one of his best known and most symbolic works, built for the first time in Salt Lake City in 1972.  This imposing, 8-meters-high installation, never seen before in Europe, is built here in a quite different environment thus assuming other, new meanings.
