 Until to 25 January 2009, Viaggio in Italia. Italian Art 1960 - 1990 is the exhibition devoted by Neue Galerie Graz to 90 contemporary artists that, since the '60s, are collected in the Landesmuseum Joanneum.
As say Christa Steinle «From 1963 to 1992 Neue Galerie had organized in Graz international biennials that had as their subjects different current themes of contemporary art. The first of these nowadays legendary "trigon" exhibitions showed works from Austria, Italy and Ex-Yugoslavia - the intention was to revive the historical cultural space of "Inner-Austria" (...) In 1992 - after the collapse of Yugoslavia - Neue Galerie showed in an extensive exhibition with the title "Identity:Difference. Platform Trigon 1940-1990. A Topography of Modernity" (curators: Christa Steinle, Peter Weibel) a retrospect view of this series of exhibitions. The aim was to investigate the artistic contributions of these countries to the construction of modernity.
Alternating with the trigon biennials the trigon personal shows took place, presenting relevant artists from the Trigon countries, among them the Italians Gianni Colombo, Getulio Alviani, Bruno Munari, Mauro Reggiani, Aldo Mondino and Mimmo Germanŕ. Works for the collection were bought from these exhibitions, too.
 From 1966 to 1992 Neue Galerie also organized in Styria once a year the Internationalen Malerwochen in der Steiermark with artists from the Trigon countries. Art works from these workshops also remained in the collection. The artists' selection for both of these series of exhibitions was made by re-knowned art theoreticians. For Italy they were: Umbro Apollonio, Lea Vergine, Achille Bonito Oliva, Maurizio Calvesi, Amnon Barzel and Chiara Bertola.
The collection of Italian art works from the 1960s to the 1990s in the Neue Galerie stems to a great degree from the above-mentioned exhibitions.»

Televisions that retract into the ceiling, pivoting walls with a built-in mini-bar, underground "nuclear cities" - the works of Italian designer Joe Colombo could have emerged directly from the set of a contemporary James Bond film or from the Kunsthaus Graz itself. They exude the spirit of the shrill Sixties yet also impress with their functionality and striking forms.
The exhibition Joe Colombo. Design and the Invention of the Future on view through August 31, 2008 is the first international retrospective dedicated to Colombo's work.

 Situated in St. Germain-des-Prčs, the Galleria Scagliola sees itself as a "studied" window on Italian design. Forged out of a complex and ever-changing alchemy of the human and the economic, Italy remains a "laboratory" where talents crystallize, where modern production techniques
meet cottage industries, and marketing meets poetry. The Scagliola Gallery, part of a strong Italian design network, hopes to make a unique contribution to the promotion of "Made in Italy" abroad. When you think "design" today,
it's Italy that comes to mind.
In line with the Galleria Scagliola's philosophy, the exhibit Répétition Générale explores
the most intimate aspects of Angelo Mangiarotti's relationship with the Object by
presenting his work for the Vistosi, Skipper and, in particular, Danese design houses. The
latter works come from the architect's personal collection and, breaking with his stated
principles, each piece is signed to indicate origin. For his Paris premiere, the Galleria Scagliola is proud to do homage to a great designer supported by great houses: together, they have left an indelible mark on Italian
design history. Until 16 October 2008.
From 23 October to 24 November, Digit, will be the next show devoted to the Murano's glass works designed by Emmanuel Babled.
