Stefano Canto Author

Stefano Canto was born in Rome in 1974. He remained in this great city, graduating with a degree in Architecture in 2003. It is where he currently lives and works. His artistic productions are expressed through the poetics of place, passing through the social implications inherent in the relationship between man and architecture. "My artistic research," says Canto, "began with the observation of the surrounding environment, understood as a complex, polymorphic and polysemantic reality, made up of multiple elements, in continuous dialogue with each other, with their own identity and of their own symbolic, evocative and communicative values". His works have been exhibited in various galleries and institutions, including Viafarini Milan; Museum of the IFAN Biennial Dakar, Senegal; American Academy in Rome; Kochi Biennial Muziris, India; MAXXI, MACRO Rome; Matèria Gallery Rome; Milan Triennale Museum; RISO Museum Palermo, Corpo 6 Gallery Berlin; Carandente Spoleto Museum; Rocco Guglielmo Catanzaro Foundation; Carrara Marble Civic Museum. In 2005 he was winner of the Rome Prize and in 2009 of the Terna Prize 02.
