Nanni Balestrini (Milan, July 2, 1935 \u2013 Rome, May 20, 2019) was an Italian writer and visual artist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writer, poet, visual artist, video artist, exponent of the Neo-vanguard during the 70s, Nanni Balestrini is the author of a \u201ccounter-historical\u201d romance, an epic form the bottom. He is the first artist that uses an IBM calculator to develop his Chronograms; he practices collage through the union of phrases, titles, words, everything done to break the so-called \u201ctypographic cage\u201d and to watch the writing like we watch a picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the \u201860s, he has been involved in various national cultural turning points. He was one of the main promoters in the Neo-avantgarde movement; he took part in important groups, such as \u2018Novissimi\u2019, with his poetry and in the \u2018Gruppo 63\u2019 with his art works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1993, he exposed at the Venice Biennale, in 2012 at Documenta in Kassel. He had solo exhibitions at the Galleria Mazzoli in Modena, at the Galleria Michela Rizzo in Venice, at the Galleria Frittelli in Florence, at the MACRO museum in Rome, at the Fondazione Morra in Naples, at the Fondazione Mudima in Milan, at the Fondazione Marconi in Milan and at the Fondazione Museion in Bolzano.\u00a0He also took part in numerous collective exhibitions such as La parola e l\u2019arte, Mart, Rovereto (2007); Italics, Palazzo Grassi, Venice (2008); 1988 vent'anni prima vent'anni dopo, museum Luigi Pecci in Prato (2008); Futurismo 1909-2009, Palazzo Reale in Milan (2009); Mille e tre, Louvre, Paris (2009); Roma Pop City 60-67, museum MACRO in Rome (2016).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He designed the Lala Metro Station in Naples and the Stele Incipit for the Vignola Library. Together with Umberto Eco he started publishing the periodical \u2018Alfabeta2\u2019, a culture focused one that followed the example of the previous version \u2018Alfabeta\u2019. His most recognized writings are the multiple novel Tristano (composed using modern technology) and the trilogy La Grande Rivolta (Vogliamo tutto, Gli invisibili and L\u2019editore), which narrates about the social and political struggles of the \u201970s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2017, he published the second edition of the book covering the summa of his poetic production: L.e Avventure della Signorina Richmond. In the same year, the ZKM (Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe) dedicated to him his own retrospective Poetische Expansionen I.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, Nanni Balestrini\u2019s works have been exposed in the Galleria Michela Rizzo, during the exhibition Dinamogrammi, where artists of the neo-vanguard group, such as Balestrini himself, have been compared with the contemporaneity of Giorgia Fincato and Matthew Attard without a prevarication of the analogic condition on the digital one. Any other information about artists and their works exposed can be found in the section dedicated to the exhibition.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
