Piero Gilardi Biography

Piero Gilardi (1942) He made his debut in the post-pop artistic movement of the 1960s with his nature carpets which brought him to the forefront of the international art scene. He exhibited in Paris, Brussels, Cologne, Hamburg, Amsterdam and New York. Starting in 1968 he interrupted his production to participate in the technical elaboration of the new artistic trends of the late 60s: Arte Povera, Land Art, Antiform Art. He collaborated in the creation of the two first international exhibitions of the new trends at the Sedeljik Museum in Amsterdam and at the Kunsthalle in Bern. In 1969 he began a long trans-cultural experience directed at the theoretical analysis and practice of the art-life conjugation, with a decade-long activity in the dimension of collective creativity, from psychiatric ateliers to forms of political and anthropological theatre. In 1981 he resumed his artistic activity, exhibiting installations accompanied by creative workshops with the public. Starting from the mid-80s he began to deal with the artistic languages ​​of new technological media, identifying in the virtuality and interactivity of information technology a new possibility for the development of an art of life.
