Vito Acconci is an Italian-american conceptual artist, born in New York in 1940.<\/span><\/p>\n

He studied at the University of Iowa (1962-64). After that, he mainly focused in poetry and in teaching at the School of Visual Arts in New York and at the Yale University in New Haven.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 1969, he has been working in the visual arts field, focusing in exploring his intimate and personal connections, both physical and psychological, with actions that made him one of the most disturbing body-art exponent. He recorded both videotapes and super-8 films, which not only preserve a memory of his actions and performances, but also become a way for him to explore his conceptual researches (Pryings, 1971; Theme song, 1973; The red tapes, 1976). He also worked on installations and even designed prototypes for houses, furniture and cars (VD lives\/TV must die, 1978; Instant house, 1980; Bad dream house, 1984), always trying to further explore the links between architecture and landscape (Land of boats, 1991, Detroit, Saint Aubin Park; Personal river, 1993, Newcastle, Tyne river shores; a landscape installation in the Public School-Bronx garden, 1995, New York; A skate park that glides the land & drops into the sea, 2004, 3rd Millenium Park, San Juan, P.R.; New street square full of words, 2005, London).<\/span><\/p>\n

During his life, he has been able to expose in various solo exhibitions in the most reknown periodical and theme-based contemporary art events. His most remarkable exhibitions in Italy were the ones at the Luigi Pecci Museum, in Prato (1992) and at the Rivoli castle (2010).\u00a0 In 2013 the Galleria Michela Rizzo has been host the bipersonal INTERSECTION with the artist Franco Vaccari, curated by Valerio Deh\u00f2.<\/span><\/p>\n
