ART AND THE ART WORLD AFTER THE ATTACK TO NEW YORK The attack against the World Trade Center not only shocked the whole world: it also changed it. Our behaviours will be for ever changed, and our culture will be radically transformed. Art has always been a sensitive detector of change, a delicate sismograph of our times, often anticipating the shape of things to come. Giancarlo Politi ------------------ Giancarlo Politi : dear friends and colleagues, we would like to know your opinions. How will art react to the World Trade Center attack? pavu.com : How could you not feel the sensitive detectors before ? You've let it go once again ?
