Curator, Teacher, Visual Artist
I studied art history, history, literature, philosophy, and anthropology, at the University of Palermo (IT), where I was born. After living in Paris (FR) for ten years, working in the fashion, cinema, and TV industries, I moved to Vienna (AT) in 2010. Since then, I am actively working in the field of contemporary art as curator, teacher, project manager and visual artist. In 2014, I opened the One Work Gallery in Vienna, a contemporary art gallery project which exhibited local and international artists, one artwork at a time. There, I curated more than 50 exhibitions until 2017. From 2020 to 2022, I worked as visitor programme officer, outreach and special projects manager for Phileas, the Austrian Office for Contemporary Art. In 2023, I founded Where Are My Keys, together with Stefanie Reisinger and Bianca Boscu, a new platform for curatorial research and site-specific art projects. Since 2015, I am teaching at the Art University of Linz (AT).
