Artist’s Biography
Diego Perrone
Diego Perrone (b. 1970, Asti) lives and works between Asti, Milan and Berlin.
He uses a wide range of techniques and languages, from photography, to drawing, to glasswork, creating an interesting marriage between the use of classical procedures and conceptual art. His works are also characterized by an acute reinterpretation of traditional themes and icons, from popular culture to more recent history.
Perrone had solo exhibition at MACRO - Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome (2022); Museion, Bolzano (2013) and Villa Croce – Museum of Contemporary Art, Genoa (2017). He participated in Manifesta 3, Ljubljana (2000); Venice Biennale (2003 and 2013); the 4th Berlin Biennale (2006); and the 43rd Art Biennale in Basel (2012). His works have been hosted by leading international contemporary art institutions, including: La Triennale in Milan (2015); Castello di Rivoli (2014); Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (2009); Palazzo Grassi, Venice (2009); New Museum, New York (2008); Whitechapel Gallery, London (2008); Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2007); and the Centre Pompidou, Paris (2004).
Artist’s Biography
Andrea Sala
Andrea Sala (b. 1976, Como) lives and works in Milan, where he graduated from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts.
He imagines new environments and worlds by mixing present and future images, oscillating between reality, fiction and imagination. He pays special attention to the forms of design and architecture, questioning the materials that constitute them and their formal values. Taking inspiration from design objects, Andrea Sala appropriates and transforms existing forms, finding new potential and reshaping them into new aspects and contexts.
His works have gained international attention and have been exhibited in several venues, including the 9th Venice Architecture Biennale (2004); MAMCO Musée d'art moderne et contemporain, Geneva (2003); MACO, Museum of Contemporary Art of Oaxaca (2007); Kaleidoscope Space, Milan (2010); La Maison Rouge, Paris (2012); Musée d'art de Joliette (2012); and Fondation Guido Molinari, Montréal (2012). His works are in the collection of MAXXI - Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI secolo, Rome, Banca Albertini Syz, Milan, and private collections. Some of his works were exhibited as part of the last Milan Triennale.
