Cesare Pietroiusti
Title
Cesare Pietroiusti
Description
The artistic research of Cesare Pietroiusti, born in Rome in 1958, a degree in medicine with an essay on psychiatry, focuses on the analysis of paradoxical and problematic situations that are hidden in ordinary life and at the same time of the art system.
Visual artist, founder and coordinator of research centers (e.g. the artist-run space Jartrakor in Rome), art projects and conferences, since 1977 he exhibited in public and private spaces, conventional and not, in Italy and abroad. In 2007 he founded, in collaboration with the collective Space of Bratislava, “Evolution de l’art”, the first art gallery to sell exclusively immaterial works and in 2011 the Museum of exiled Italian contemporary art, a project for the collection of works, documents and records on artistic experiences that are deliberately marginal or non acknowledged by the museum system.
