Andrea Magnani
lives and works in Milan. In his work, he investigates sense creation processes by bringing the superimposition of organizational and generative forces on stage. In the artist’s meticulously assembled spaces, the visitor is haunted by a distilled world in which uncanny yet familiar objects contribute to a sensual balance. Whether it’s illegible drawings, fake ready-mades, or non-spectacular performances, the internal dialogue between the elements of the work brings out non-verbal feelings. The artist put on erosive ambiences in which the border between reality (authenticity) and representation (art) is fickle. 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 (Rome); Museo della Permanente, Ciaccia Levi, Marsèlleria, O’, Viafarini (Milan); Live Arts Week at MAMbo – Museum of Modern Art (Bologna); Italienska Kulturinstitutet (Stockholm); Can Serrat (Barcelona); Bevilacqua La Masa (Venice); Pad. Regionale 54° Biennale di Venezia (Reggio Emilia); Photo London at Somerset House, Stanford Housing (London).
