Giovanni Morbin

Performance and post-conceptualist artist Morbin Giovanni was born in Valdagno in 1956. He always works with his body and does not even shy away from radical, destructive performances in order to point out political or social grievances. His antiquarian or found objects such as vintage photographs or books are cut and treated, time and again bringing out the line that glorifies the fascist symbol. Based on several small-format works, Giovanni Morbin explores a time that took place without him. The work of Giovanni Morbin warns us of what happens when borders are closed and in which ways lines can be drawn. In a minimalist manner he points to the danger of the new rise of extreme right-wing parties all over Europe.

Since 1978, his research is related to behaviors and performance, hes ideal medium to express ideas.
Parallel to the behavioral work, he is interested in the construction of functional objects to the everyday action and gives them the value of tools (Strumento a Perdifiato, Scultura Sociale, DNA, l’Angolo del saluto, Prêt-a-porter, Fioriera, ecc.).
