Benni Bosetto
Biography
Benni Bosetto (Merate, 1987) is an Italian artist based in Milan. Her work combining drawing, sculpture, installation and performance always involves the body and its gesture. Her artistic practice is based on the superposition of fragmented narratives from anthropology, religion, popular beliefs and art history. Her research draws in particular on the study of ancient and contemporary healing rituals, and on the states of semiconsciousness specific to meditation and sleep. Bosetto creates openended visual narratives in which the gaze wanders from one scene to another without ever focusing on a specific point.
She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera, Milan, and studied at the Sandberg Instituut, Amsterdam. Recent solo exhibition include MAMbo Museo d’Arte Moderna, Bologna, (2022); Almanac, Turin (2020); Kunstraum, with Xenia Perek, London (2019); Fonderia Battaglia, Milan (2018); Convento de los Domenicos, Eivissa (2017); Tile Project Space, Milan (2016).
