Trained between the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples and the Künsthochschule Weissensee in Berlin, Andrea Bolognino (1991, Naples) has always shown an interest in the intersection of different forms of expression as evidenced by the collective conception of the project La Digestion (2016 – 2019), an experimental music festival, and the repeated cooperations with the choreographer Adriano Bolognino, for whom he designed sets and costumes on the occasion of the Venice Biennale (2020) and the opening of the exhibition Tauromachia – La lotta del doppio at the Archaeological Museum of Naples MANN (2023).
In 2022 he inaugurated his first solo exhibition Cecità, accecamento, oltraggio at the Capodimonte Museum within the project Incontri Sensibili. In 2023 he presented the exhibition I Giganti at ACAPPELLA Gallery, created by the interaction with the contemporary poet Nico Bleutge.
During his artistic activity he has also taken part in various national and international collective exhibitions. In his research Bolognino processes matter and data into a saturated visual image, fed with infinite digital archives of further images. His artistic practice focuses on the exploration of an altered visual perception that fluctuates between the restoration of lost gazes and the technological expansion of view. The artist constantly questions the possibility to understand the depiction by seeking relationships that refuse or determine the creation of an “other” gaze.
