Research and curation

He places particular emphasis on the work of Bernar Vernet, Art and Language, and Victor Burgin. Pedrini’s collection is focused on Dada, Fluxus, Minimal Art, Arte Povera, Vienna Aktionismus, and Graffiti Art. His books and articles examine issues in Anthropological Art, Conceptual Art, and Possibilism, and include John Cage, Happenings, and Fluxus (1986) and The Quantic Machine and the Second Avant-Garde (1991) in which he discusses the relation between quantum theory and the visual arts movements of the 1960s.

Pedrini studies the interaction of dissipating systems, chaos theory, and new potential in art. He is known as a curator of international exhibitions, including the Studio Oggetto in Milan, the Gallery Persano in Turin, the Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain in Nice, and the Williamsburg Art & Historical Center in New York City.[1] He curated, with Wolfgang Becker, the Taiwanese Pavilion at the 1995 Venice Biennale.[2]
