Unauthorized // Commissioned, through essays by Pietro Rivasi and Andrea Baldini, as well as with the images of Zelle Asphaltkultur, Fra32 and Egs among others, investigates the complex relationship between urban art and institutions, taking as an example the experiences of “Icone” and “1984. Evoluzione e rigenerazione del writing”.
