Paolo Chiasera
Bologna, 1978
Lives and works in Bologna, Italy
Paolo Chiasera’s multi-disciplinary work involves installation, video, painting, performance, architecture, curating and writing. These mediums often overlap in Chiasera’s analysis and staging of collective myths, cultural symbols and icons. Through manifold narratives the artist retraces the interactions between history and power, social groups, and the loss of control. More recently his practice has focused on the medium of painting in its expanded field of appearance and use.
