This volume accompanies the group exhibition celebrating the reopening of the Pecci Museum in Prato. The end of the world – a title that evokes a just and provocative ambition – is the absolute uncertainty of a historical time in which ideal-types and categories that we thought had been historicised and definitively introjected show all the signs of the times, and it is also the triumph of the time of the Crisis – but only on condition that we remember that the etymon of the word ‘crisis’ refers to the concept of ‘choice’. Let us choose not to get wrapped up in the idealisation of the past and challenge the present time.
