Chiara Camoni - 2019

Grande Sorella #8

For Chiara Camoni, encountering the mystery of creation is a practice as necessary as eating and drinking, or going for a walk on a sunny day. Her works are linked to the idea of flow and fusion with a simple and basic daily dimension in which the current of daily life freezes to a halt and emerges in meaningful and autonomous forms. Chiara’s works can be created just about anywhere, more often than not in her kitchen; at times, with the assistance of friends and relatives who happen to pass by, all members of what can be called her extended studio. She looks like being in a constant, natural dialogue with our archaic ancestors. ​

Chiara Camoni was born in 1974 in Piacenza, Italy. She lives and works in Fabbiano, a mountain village on the Versilian coast in northern Tuscany. Her work has most recently been presented in solo exhibitions at CEAAC, Strasbourg, FR (2021); CAPC Bordeaux, FR (2020); MOSTYN, Llandudno, Wales and the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, UK (both in 2019). In 2020–21, she participated in Fuori, the 17th Rome Quadriennale at Palazzo delle Esposizioni, and in the exhibition Artifices instables. Histoires de céramiques at Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Sauber. Her exhibition at GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contempoaranea runs until March 12, 2023 and her solo exhibition at Pirelli Hangar Bicocca is scheduled to open in early 2024.
