“Acts of love” exhibition
Coordinated by Melisa Paci
With works by the students of “Ismail Qemali” and “Miqësia” schools in dialogue with the artist Claudia Losi
For the third year in a row, Art House organizes an educational program in the form of a workshop with middle school pupils in dialogue with
a contemporary artist. The artist selected this year to work with the students of “Ismail Qemali” and “Miqësia” schools is Claudia Losi, whose multidisciplinary art is based on a constant relationship between human and nature using simple materials that do not necessarily belong to the field of art.
Born in Piacenza, 1971. Lives and works in Piacenza, Italy. Graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts, Bologna, and at the University of Foreign Languages and Literature, Bologna, she was selected in 1998 for the Advanced Course in Visual Arts of the Antonio Ratti Foundation, in Como, Italy (visiting professor: Hamish Fulton); in 2000 Italian shortlisted for the International Studio Program P.S.1-New York. She has been artist in residence at Studio Orta-Les Moulins (France), JCVA, Jerusalem (Israel), Art Omi International, New York (United States), NTU CCA (Singapore), Error-Lenguas hermanas, Mexico City. Her artistic research is based around the relation between human beings and nature and investigates the dimension of travel and exploration as experiences of knowledge. A focal aspect in her practice is the in-depth knowledge of places, experienced through wandering and lingering.
