Pivi, Paola
1971 Milan, lives in Milan (Italy).

venue: casa Ciriza

Paola Pivi creates installations and objects of Herculean dimensions by updating the category of the readymade – a plane flipped upside down, a truck turned on its side as a kind of prehistoric animal, a one to one scale reproduction of an island in the Mediterranean, or a series of animals inserted in anomalous contexts. Pivi pushes the suspension of disbelief to its furthest extent. E (2001) is simultaneously a sculpture and mechanical device developed with a team of technicians and scientists. The object's steel needles rise and fall according to a viewer’s physical proximity, as if the object has the ability to react to natural stimuli.
