Giovanni Longo’s artistic practice has evolved over time, unfolding as a stratified inquiry that brings seemingly distant worlds into dialogue. Existential and global concerns intersect with local and personal processes, through a body of work that explores the capacity of visual languages to shape narrative. For several years he has been concentrating his efforts on reclaiming wood found at river mouths at various places in the Mediterranean. Calabria, his birth place, is his favourite spot. Through classification and comparison, he uses this wood to create complete or evocative skeletal structures — the Fragile Skeletons and Seamless series — which interact with space and time, preserving the intrinsic properties of the original material such as colour, shape and texture.
Longo’s work is closely linked to identity, memory and history. It collects, accumulates and classifies forms, data, and information with the ultimate aim of obtaining a poetic escape from them — for example Museum Not Found project — , sometimes leaving the viewer with the ability to discover the origin of things.
Giovanni Longo (Locri, 1985) is a sculptor, visual artist and art director based in Italy. After studying at the Academy of Arts in Reggio Calabria, he takes part in international residencies at M50 in Shanghai and the cultural department of Montrouge in Paris. His work is exhibited in numerous events in Italy and abroad, including: the 54th Venice Biennale (Academies Pavilion); Kunstenfestival Watou in Belgium; Wood Mood Valcucine in London and New York; the Jeune Création Européenne Biennial in France, Poland, Spain and Denmark. In 2016, the MARCA in Catanzaro dedicates an institutional solo exhibition to his work, curated by Marco Meneguzzo, while in 2022 he presents a project for the Lorenzo de’ Medici Institute in Florence, curated by Spela Zidar, and wins the YICCA International Art Prize at Matalon Foundation in Milan. He currently lives in Rome and works with several galleries, museums, cultural institutions and tech companies.
