Alfredo Da Venezia Chilean, b. 1973

Overview
Alfredo Da Venezia

His work moves between design and architecture, drawing on the paradigms of modernity — its methodologies and lines of thought — as the guiding axes of his artistic practice. Using digital modeling and 3D printing as his primary visual tools since 2016, this versatile body of work ranges from volumetric prints in plastic and digital photography to inflatable models at 1:1 scale.

Alfredo Da Venezia is a visual artist with a degree in Visual Arts from Universidad Arcis and studies in Education and Pedagogy in Visual Arts from U.M.C.E. He also holds a Postgraduate Specialization in Design for Kids & Toys from Poli.Design, Politecnico di Milano.

 

His work and projects have been part of major exhibitions and curatorial projects in Chile, Spain, and Italy. He has exhibited at venues including the Museo de Arte Moderno de Chiloé (Castro, Chile), the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Quinta Normal (Santiago, Chile), Spazio Serra (Milan, Italy), Spazio LOC (Capo d'Orlando, Italy), Chiquita Room (Barcelona, Spain), the Museo Municipal de Arte Moderno de Cuenca (Cuenca, Ecuador), the Museo Antropológico y de Arte Contemporáneo de Guayaquil (Guayaquil, Ecuador), the Fototeca de Cuba (Havana, Cuba), and various galleries in Chile and abroad.

 

The relationship between art and design has allowed him to pursue both teaching and his own practice, resulting in artworks as well as functional design pieces. In publishing, he serves as art director of Quinta Morza, a project focused on art publications that synthesize aesthetics, economy of means, and innovation.

 

Alfredo Da Venezia lives and works in Lyon, France, and collaborates with Progetto Empegno (Italy).

Statement
Alfredo Da Venezia

My artistic work sits between design and architecture. I draw on the paradigms of modernity in both disciplines, using their methodologies and lines of thought as artistic operations.

 

Since 2016 I have worked in digital modelling and 3D printing. From there I have developed art pieces ranging from the printed model in plastic, to its digital photographic reproduction, to inflatable models at 1:1 scale, presented in various exhibitions and curatorial projects in Chile, Spain and Italy.

 

I currently live in Lyon and collaborate with Progetto Empegno in Italy, which has led me to develop a formal language —inflatable, foldable, assemblable— designed to transport the work at low cost between countries. This way of working turns every exhibition into an exercise in translation: between the digital file, the physical object, and the place where it is finally unfolded.
