Nero/ Alessandro Neretti
1980, Italy.
Visual artist and critical observer of the contemporary condition, Nero extends a constant work of auto-fiction to environmental research that addresses the space of here and now, comprising architectural, cultural, and natural values. The processes of self-definition and re-elaboration of the sensitive datum are interwoven in highly symbolic images. The end objective is the provocation, the resistance, and the alternative to historical and cultural collapse.
Some of his solo projects were hosted by Mart Museum – Rovereto/IT; Museum Beelden aan Zee* – Scheveningen/NL, MAR Museum* – Ravenna/IT; PAC/Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea – Milan/IT.
