This would say that the final truth should be found beyond the western logocentric model limits, ( … ) that the being coincides just with the kaleidoscope of truths formulated in the attempt of naming it; that there is no transcendental meaning; that the being is the same process of continuous dismantling, which when told becomes more fluid, more malleable, more elusive or ( … ) bugged and friable; ( … ) knot of endless junctions over–traveled by various options, labyrinth.

Kant and the Platypus by Umberto Eco.

Biography

I have been involved in artistic projects in Ireland and Italy for the past twenty years. Having obtained a degree in Set Design from the Roman Academy of Fine Art in 1984 I subsequently worked in both set design and interior design. Over the years I have worked as a Sculptor, Constructor and Restorer, Performer, Art Teacher, Event Curator, Organizer, Writer and Musician. I won numerous awards in Italy and Ireland and was given grants to promote my artistic endeavors

I have exhibited in group and solo exhibitions across Europe and America.

I have worked in different social contexts and my research is always socially and intellectually aware. It includes a deep interest in the continuous exchange within the local environment, inasmuch as it is influenced and moved by contemporary events and people lives, even when I adopt more literary or historical archetypes to explore them

My Research

My artistic experience aims to provoke and stimulate exchanges between people to be involved in their specific contexts and to consider their resulting contributions within high standard experimental art creations.

This exchange is planned from the beginning to the end as an unique creative process. The richness of the result is given from the singular variety of contributions given from the external context. On this basis I manage and program my studio The Shed activity in Dublin

Working in specific environments (hospitals, jails, traveler centers, teen–clubs etc) has brought me into contact with individuals of disparate backgrounds whose experience can be complex. I meet these persons outside the confines of an artistic environment and they are often in very needy circumstances and this does not detract from the value of their contributions. Their unique experiences are just as valuable as any contributions from artistic professionals.
