Who am I and what do I do

I am a curator with the approach of an interpreter: I experience, analyze and then translate into other languages.

Sinologist in constant search of new languages, art is for me the most interesting. Specializzata in contemporary Chinese art, from there I started my curatorial path with particular attention to contemporary art and marginalities. With the approach of an interpreter, I am committed to making art a language accessible to the most.

I work with artists, galleries, foundations and fairs studying, planning and implementing art projects.

Curatorship

I curate exhibitions and art events in detail to enhance the artist, the work or the concept of departure.

Consulting

For more than 10 years I have been enjoying art in Venice, before managing it. Do you want to organize an exhibition or an event? I will help you in all the steps, from the search for the ideal location, the press office that best communicates your idea to the organization of transport, and beyond.

Interviste

Bringing out all shades of a person’s versatility is not an easy thing. From January 2023 I publish interviews on Artslife, with which I investigate the complexity of contemporary international artists beyond the surface with not predictable questions.
