Collins & Milazzo[]

In 1984, Tricia Collins and Richard Milazzo[4] began working together as curators to transform the group show into a critical statement.[5] Her exhibitions and critical writings with Collins & Milazzo brought to prominence a new generation of artists in the 1980s.[6] It was their exhibitions[7] and writings that originally fashioned the theoretical context for a new kind of Post-conceptual art that argued simultaneously against Neo-Expressionism and Picture-Theory Art.[8]
