“Instant Book is a census of sorts, a snapshot of Italian artists under the age of 45 who have chosen to live and work in New York, and who have brought their imaginations here and derive their primary source of inspiration from this city,” says Renato Miracco, director of the Italian Cultural Institute in New York and a key supporter of the initiative. The project was realized in collaboration with Charta Art Books and presented first at the Venice Biennale followed by a large group show of the participants’ work in New York.
