I was just poking fun they have a list there which includes anything contemporary and they don't even turn their noses up at "figurative" art, which many consider postcard stuff.
philgoddard Apr 10, 2012:
Yes, but it uses "sia.... sia..." to divide them into two categories: the first is more traditional media like paintings and drawings, and the second is more contemporary forms of expression such as video, installation and performance.
James (Jim) Davis Apr 10, 2012:
I count five :) All areas of contemporary art.
philgoddard Apr 10, 2012:
Thanks - that helps a lot.
Chris Dawe (asker) Apr 10, 2012:
Context Thanks very much Jim. Phil, here is the next sentence anyway: "La dualità del progetto è rivolta sia alle odierne indagini nelle arti figurative che alle sperimentazioni della video-arte, dell’installazione e della performance con uno sguardo alla produzione editoriale d’artista."
James (Jim) Davis Apr 10, 2012:
@Phil These will be the two sets of criteria by which it selects works of art for display such as contemporary and local artists, or abstract and modern.
philgoddard Apr 10, 2012:
What does the next sentence say? I'm assuming it goes on to explain what the doppio binario is.

pursues two lines of (artistic) enquiry

one of those standard expressions in art blurbs, of which the most hackneyed is "juxapposition" :)
Peer comment(s):
agree Lara Barnett : I like this. Even without "artistic" it would work if the context is clear.

Thanks, Lara. Yep, that's why I've bracketed "artistic"...although in my experience the only "lines" art galleries really "pursue" nowadays are those of money-making/laundering! :)

explores two different areas of art

See the additional context in the discussion entries. The two areas appear to be figurative art on the one hand, and experimental video, installation and performance on the other.

two variables research

two variables research: it's a research method used in many fields as medical research.
Peer comment(s):
disagree philgoddard : This makes no sense in the context.

disagree Lara Barnett : This is not an English construction grammatically and "variables" is not appropriate to the context.
