ELISA SIGHICELLI BIOGRAPHY

http://www.elisasighicelli.com/home.htm

Elisa Sighicelli was born in Turin, Italy in 1968. She currently lives and works in Turin. Since receiving her MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art in London, Sighicelli has exhibited her work in many renowned public institutions including: Palazzo delle Papesse Centro Arte Contemporanea, Siena (2005); Fondation Salomon, Annecy (2003); Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea, Santiago de Compostela (2000); MCA, Sydney (2003); Hertzliya Museum, Tel Aviv (2001), Venice Biennale (2009).

Fluctuation between stillness and motion, video and photography, Sighicelli’s work scrutinizes ordinary things, in an attempt to make them intensely ordinary. In her work, images are revealed through light; darkness transforms reality and allows the image to be open and suggestive. The artist has also participated in various solo and group exhibitions in Milan, New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris and Turin. The recent exhibition at Gagosian Gallery, New York was her fourth with the gallery
