Paolo Piscitelli, born in Venaria, Italy, is one of a small number of Italian artists involved in overturning the logic of sculpture as the “image” of an object designed for visual consumption. With the aid of digital technologies, he demolishes the usual distinctions among the different medias to connect the experience of the visual and the listening, considering the physical and emotional memory, context and possibility, of each environment. The sensorial revelation in his sculpture works to open intensified spaces, oriented to amplify the meaning, not only analytically, but also emotionally. To do this he studies and oftentimes calls upon experts in the fields of science, physics, sound, architecture and philosophy.

Since Piscitelli’s debut solo exhibition in 1996, Nuovi Arrivi, at Galleria San Filippo, Torino, he has exhibited widely throughout Europe. Recent one-person exhibitions include Paolo Piscitelli at Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Torino, Present Future, Tucci Russo Studio per l’Arte Contemporanea, Artissima 10, Torino, and Gong, Galerie Paolo Boselli, Brussels. He was awarded the “Premio Maretti”, Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, Italy and the fellowship for Visual Art, at the Künstlerhaus Schloß Balmoral, He lives and works in New York and Turin, Italy.
