HISTORY

 

AM International, formally constituted in 1987 as a cultural association, opens the "Pinacoteca" in 1988 with the start of utopias-show in progress and soon characterizes as a meeting point and comparison between authors of different cultural education and origin.

Thanks to the farsightedness of the "founder" Angelina Melia, but also to the generosity of numerous artists who have actively contributed to the growth of the heritage of the collection of works of art, is formed as a Museum of Contemporary Art AM (Acronym Macam), today Appreciated as a laboratory museum, a place of conservation and use of works of art inspired by the indications of the ICOM code of Ethics. A unicum that offers the opportunity to be able to combine the exhibition activity to the study and research activity; to dialogue with the work of art and appopy, directly with the authors, the themes of the contemporary socio-cultural debate.

Since 1994 AM International publishes and distributes the quarterly periodic artflower and, thanks to the collaboration of eminent researchers, also develops a publishing line (International AM Editions) for the publication of essays also in the scientific and philosophical sector.
