BIO
Cristina Calderoni is a multidisciplinary artist. Her work is characterised by participatory practice and site-specific projects, using industrial waste materials that take on a political meaning, following the concept of identity and collective memory. Her research process starts from the archaeology of the place and the trace of the human in it. In her artistic process, the assembly of the remnants of everyday life becomes an action to create thoughts. Her works include different media such as installation, textiles, sounds, performance and language.
Cristina Calderoni (*1990 Ravenna, IT) lives and works in Treviso and Vienna. She has participated in exhibitions and residency programmes worldwide. Since 2021 she has been working with Lanificio Paoletti, a prestigious local textile company, where she has her studio. Her recent solo exhibitions include terzospazio, Venezia (IT), Dolomiti contemporanee, Casso (IT), Galerie 12-14, Vienna (AT), Art in public, Montebelluna (IT). In 2023 she exhibited at Villa Farsetti, Santa Maria di Sala (IT) in collaboration with the 18th Venice Architecture Biennale.
