Sissi
Sissi was born in Bologna, Italy in 1977. She received a degree from the Accademia di Belle Arti, Bologna. She has received numerous awards, including first prize from the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in 2002, the New York Prize from the Italian Academy of Columbia University in 2005, and the Rome Prize from American Academy in Rome in 2006. Currently, she lives and works energetically in Bologna and New York. She recently participated in a group exhibition held last March at Elizabeth A. Sackler Center, in Brooklyn Museum. She attracted large audiences with an installation work titled, “The wings have no home.” Furthermore, she had solo exhibitions in different cities such as Belgrade, Rome, Amsterdam and New York, as well as group exhibitions.
Sissi who visited Japan for the first time, got ideas from the culture of Shintoism, especially its way of expression (rice straw used for decoration and ceremony, and ancient Japanese rope). For this exhibition, these ideas are interwoven with her personal experience and thoughts, and spread out as an installation with various colored traditional ropes that tightly hug the drawings on oval canvases.
