Biography
Adriana Iaconcig is an Italian-born Canadian artist. She attended the School of Fine Arts in Venice. Now she lives and works in Cividale del Friuli (Udine), Italy.
Adriana's artwork includes photography, sculpture, setting-up. In 2007 she was commissioned to carry out the Via Crucis in the Church of San Lorenzo Martire in Cividale del Friuli, on that purpose she planned to create a sculpture in harmony with the modern architecture of the church.
In 2008 she contributed for the photographic images of “Cividale 3 – from Italcementi to the architecture of the future”, a work about a research concerning the so-called non-places where attention is put on the regain of the long gone identity of the anthorpological places now empty, forlorn, abandoned by their former dwellers, whose essence is hidden amid those abandoned piles of débris, in those piled up remains, in layers of mold and dust.
Her artistic commitment evolved and in 2010 she presented her exhibition in a formar monastery; a site-specific exhibition with the use of photographies, sounds and installations created esspecially for that particular location of great charm.
She is currently committed with an artwork about the remembrance concerning her birthplace, using photography, video and objects “trouvés” with the aim of regaining past time and face out the time to come inexorably where there will be no room for emotional tears.
