Marco Brandizzi Biography
Marco Brandizzi was born in Rome, from 1977 to 1980 he studied psychology at the Faculty of Psychology in Rome. He graduated in 1985 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. The two levels of study interact in his artistic activity which ranges from a psychological and sociological vision: CNN Image, Serial killer, Zero to a more philosophical and existential one: Utopia, Meno two hundred seventy three point fifteen degrees, CNC machine and the Tavolo pensiero series , Revolutionary music, Maps. In 1993 he participated in the section. “Aperto” of the Venice Biennale. From 2014 to 2020 he was director of the Academy of Fine Arts in L'Aquila where he promoted research and experimentation in the field of visual arts. He participated as a speaker in two editions of Art and Science organized by the Gran Sasso Science Institute and the Academy of Drawing Arts. He is currently a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. He lives and carries out his artistic and theoretical research activity in Rome. Passionate about linguistics, as well as philosophy and contemporary history, Brandizzi uses sculpture, video, environmental installations and drawing to get to the universal heart of artistic discourse. Of significant importance is the personal exhibition "I listened to revolutionary music" which moves between revolutionary mysticism and intimate diary passing through social reflections and on the nature of art. The title takes inspiration from the mystical-revolutionary meditations of the poet Alexander Alexander Blok (1880-1921) who, at the beginning of the Bolshevik era, urged the Russian people to listen to "...this music of the revolution". Brandizzi, in fact, in the rooms of Palazzo Lucarini unravels a story that seems to be made up of opposing positions, between surprising perceptive stimuli and unexpected mental associations. A story that finds balance in the coincidence of apparently distant elements: transcendence and war, daily space and philosophy, people and intimacy.
