ANTONELLO GHEZZI
"We think that art is a means to improve life and to foster reflection upon such themes as the smile, the unpredictable, the intersections between strangers, the crossing of all borders"
A.G.

The duo, based in Bologna and formed in 2009, have appeared at prestigious exhibitions across Italy and abroad, including, Italian Institute of Culture in Athens, Petit Bain in Paris, BIEL Center in Beirut, Usina del Arte in Buenos Aires, National Picture Gallery of Bologna, Moscow Biennial, Museum of Contemporary Art of Villa Croce in Genova, Sarajevo Winter Festival, Blik Opener in the Netherlands, Paris Fashion Week, and CIFF in Copenhagen.
They work with both scientists and businesses, bringing art to daily life through installations that combine technology, reality, and poetry.
