Sono entrato a far parte di AICA (Association Internationale des Critiques d’Art), organizzazione non governativa affiliata UNESCO nata nel 1950 che riunisce personalità dell’arte provenienti da tutto il mondo (circa 5 mila art professionals di 95 nazioni). AICA è un’istituzione prestigiosa la cui finalità è sviluppare la cooperazione internazionale nei campi della creazione artistica, della diffusione e dello sviluppo della cultura.

Gli obiettivi di AICA sottolineano la sua portata globale, le sue ambizioni interculturali e il suo approccio interdisciplinare e transculturale. Come recita il sito web:

• to promote art criticism as a discipline and contribute to its methodology

• to protect the ethical and professional interests of its Members and co-operate in defending their rights

• to maintain an active international network for its Members, with the aid of available technologies and encouragement of face-to-face encounters

• to contribute to mutual understanding of visual arts and aesthetics in all cultures

• to stimulate professional relationship across political, geographical, ethnic, economic and religious boundaries

• to defend impartially freedom of expression and thought and oppose arbitrary censorship.

I membri di AICA vengono eletti da loro pari, per questo onore devo ringraziare Cristina Trivellin, Tesoriere di AICA Italia, per l’invito a presentare la mia candidatura, e Gabriele Romeo, che di AICA Italia è Presidente, che l’ha sostenuta.
