Since 2004 Rita Canarezza & Pier Paolo Coro, with the support of the San Marino Foundation, have been developing a project aimed at establishing a work & research network focused in particular on the geo-cultural complexity of small States. Their research journey started in San Marino in 2004 and took them to Andorra, Canton Ticino (CH), Ceuta (ES), Cyprus, Gibraltar (UK), Iceland, Kaliningrad (RUS), Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino. During this journey they met with a number of artists, curators and institutional representatives of the major Contemporary Art Museums, Research Centres, Associations and Groups. While offering a general overview of the research work conducted in these countries by youngest generation artists, this project gave also the opportunity to take a critical and original look at their geo-cultural and geo-political complexity, at times enigmatic, stereotyped and not, somewhere between illusion and reality, which surrounds much of common sense when it comes to talking about ‘small States’ or ‘micro-areas’. The result is an unusual and vital contemporary picture of old and new respublicae, autonomous cities, States, Principalities and territorial enclaves, all of them having one feature in common: they are ‘small’ because they have a population of less than one million. This tiny constellation scattered all over and delimited by what is today’s vision of Europe, the EU (although some of these Countries are not EU Members), is now experiencing the emergence of particular contemporary art museums and the need to think contemporary using new open strategies for the development and diffusion of art.
