Italo Zuffi (Imola, 1969) has practiced
competitive cycling since 1986. From 1988 to 1992, he was the singer in the
band Black Love. In 1993, he received a Diploma at the Academy of Fine Arts
of Bologna and in 1997, he was awarded a Master of Arts at Saint Martin's College
of Art & Design in London. In 2001, he was assigned the Wheatley Bequest Fellowship in Sculpture at the Institute of Art & Design, School of Art, Birmingham (GB). He was artist-in-residence in Vienna in 2003, on invitation by the Bundeskanzleramt, and then in France at the CIAV (Center International d' Art Verrier) of Meisenthal, in 2004.
He works with sculpture, performance and video. His
practice "explores subtle states of vulnerability, and expresses the prudence of
a person in a hostile environment who turns his or her gaze like a window on
the world, resorting to inner experience as in a change of state, collapse, or
combustion." (Chiara Chelotti).
His work has been included in the publication Espresso - art now in Italy,
published by Electa in 2000. The monograph The mystery boy, with critical
essays by Pier Luigi Tazzi, Luca Cerizza, and Nicolas Bourriaud was published
in 2003 by Gli Ori, Prato, and Galleria Continua, San Gimignano, Italy.
