Visual poetry takes on mass communications as its object of investigation and at the same time as its own instrument of expression.

In the nineties there were also a series of exhibitions dedicated to artists and trends of strong topicality. We remember "Sculptures in the city" by Bruno Munari in 1990, a selection of large metal sculptures exhibited on the seafront of Naples.

In 1992 4 Environment by Allan Kaprow, father of Environment, was reconstructed, Kaprow thinks of art as a staging of feelings, desires, emotions, where the viewer from a passive contemplator of objects turns into an active protagonist of movements, crossing the threshold of art.
In the same year Studio Morra moved its activity from the Chiaia district to the Rione Sanità and established the Morra Foundation which places at the base of its artistic-cultural activity "art for the love of research and knowledge", strongly recalling the social purposes that see in cultural promotion the horizon of meaning to be followed to re-evaluate areas with strong social degradation.
