Biography
I am interested in a project based on respect and on the return value. Ethics first. aesthetics then. the beauty along the road
** * Starting with a degree in philosophy, the activities carried out within the framework of curatorship, as an independent curator, has covered in detail the elaboration, with the language of art, issues such as the mind-body relationship and the nature-culture, the role of the artist and of artistic practice in the society and the function of the curator and his research on the merits of artistic practice. I work mainly on research in the context of site-specific artistic practices and, in particular, my curatorial activities and paracuratoriale caters to the participative and relational experiences and environmental installation and performative action. My recent research activities, with the latest projects, focused on the study of social dynamics that are derived from the web 2.0, with issues like the new sense of community result from daily use of social networks and the sense of connection and connection between humans and nature. These questions have been mostly addressed with the aim of fostering community spirit that the practice of art contains, and that with the production of paracuratoriali activities on the sidelines of the curatorship of the actual exhibition projects. I created in 2008 Gavagai Project, an artistic research project that made the language of art, and contemporary art in particular, privileged tool of research and analysis of the present time and its complexity. In the projects carried out within the network of PG has often insisted on the value of contemporary art in a more general movement of rearming the attention and adherence of persons with physical and symbolic places in which their lives. In this sense have always been site-specific practices insider, participative and relational to a path of knowledge not only of artistic practice, but also, and above all, of his connection with vital practices, social, psychological and cultural. As an independent curator I worked with a dense network of artists and professionals involved in various capacities in the production of projects.
