About this user

The body conceived as identity and the structure built by the various mass-media languages are the predominant themes of the research followed by Francesco Arena. Born in Genova in 1966, his interest in professional photography and video dates back in 1989. Through his photos, videos and installations, Francesco Arena analyzes not only the nature of the human body, enphasized by the use of violent colours like red blood, but highlights the ambiguity of communication, being advertising, film, pornographic or journalistic.
With numerous solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad, since 1989, his work entered various private and public collections including the Museum of Contemporary Art Villa Croce and the GAM, Modern Art Gallery, in Genoa (with big dimension photos) and the Ken Damy Museum of Contemporary Photography, in Brescia, Italy; the Collection of Polaroid Corporation, Boston and the Museum of the New Art (MONA), Detroit, in USA.
In 1990 he is the co-founder together with the fluxus artist CLAUDIO COSTA of the team-work ARTE COME EVOCAZIONE, which realizes a series of installations and site specific events featuring famous historical and contemporary artists. During 1992-1995 he becomes a member of the ACE artgroup, focusing on the extension of the territorial bounderies of art, and develops various projects in collaboration with private artists and public institutions.
Recently, in 2004, Francesco Arena starts a collaboration with the NY composer and video-maker WILLIAM BASINSKY. The common project THE ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY focuses on the obsession of the Disintegration Loop composition written by Basinsky, melting with the visual fragmentation of the Circular Bodies installation (400 video-stills from the same video directed by Francesco Arena).
In 2005 the collaboration with the CORPICRUDI team (hybrid projects between video, performance and electromusic, Genoa, Italy) leads to the multimedia project ARENA M-EATS CORPICRUDI (AMC). A series of video/photographic/installation and performance sections related to the behavioral investigation of the body and its actions. The AMC FILM, produced in 2006, includes the projects 4 episodes (Bathroom, Bedroom, Sitting Room and Dining Room) in a special multiscreen editing. It is presented in 2007 at the Los Angeles Fashion Week / Fall 2007 for the KittenFashionWeek and joins the fixed broadcast with the Artchannel satellite and web TV (Paris, France).
In 2007 Francesco Arena comes back and completes the RESPIRI / BREATHS project, featuring 20 videos of boys and girls videorecorded in 4 years, initially presented as single video-installations. Thanks to the collaboration with more than 20 international musicians/sound designers and many dancers/performers, the RESPIRI / BREATHS project will become in the next season a real multimedia show ranging from video-installation to contemporary dance/performance...
