Andrea Magnani
(b. 1983, IT)
His research delves into meaning-making processes, staging the overlapping of order and generative tensions. In his meticulously constructed environments, the viewer is haunted by a distilled reality where uncanny yet familiar objects participate in a sensual balancing act. Whether being unreadable drawings, “fake readymades” or non-spectacular performances, the dialogue among every part of a work aids to evoke non-verbal feelings. Erosive ambiences where the boundary between reality (authenticity) and representation (art) is constantly shifting. Andrea has exhibited and performed in public and private spaces, including: INTERSTATE Projects, Marsèlleria (New York), KAI Art Center (Tallinn), Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, PAV Parco Arte Vivente, Giorgio Galotti, Archivio di Stato (Turin), T293, Fondazione Baruchello, Villa Farinacci promoted by MAXXI museum, Operativa (Rome), Live Arts Week at MAMbo – Museum of Modern Art (Bologna), Italienska Kulturinstitutet (Stockholm), Stanford Housing (London), Can Serrat (Barcelona), Bevilacqua La Masa (Venice), Marsèlleria, O’, Viafarini, Crepaccio, Mars (Milan), Pad. Regionale 54° Biennale di Venezia (Reggio Emilia). Lives and works in Milan.
