About
Why this artist matters now
Gianni Motti is a Swiss-Italian artist working in installation and performance who treats disruption and intervention as primary materials. His practice operates at the intersection of art, politics, and public space, employing strategies of appropriation, infiltration, and institutional critique to interrogate authority and social convention. Based in Sondrio, Italy, Motti's work refuses the autonomy of the art object in favor of direct engagement with institutional and political structures.
