Patrick Tuttofuoco / CIBOH

Born in 1974 in Milan where he currently lives and works, Patrick Tuttofuoco is one of the most interesting young emerging artists of the moment. Starting in 2000, in the wake of his first solo exhibition at the Galleria Guenzani in Milan, his work has received increasing attention from international critics, curators and collectors. In the same year some of Tuttofuoco’s works were published in Espresso. Arte Oggi in Italia, published by Electa; Fatica Sprecata, Art Book Edizioni; L’Art dans le monde 2000, Paris Musées des Beaux-Artes. The artist has taken part in various group exhibitions on an international level including the Contemporary Art Quadrennial at the Stedelijk Museum voor Aktuelle Kunst in Ghent, Le Rire d’Echo at the Centre d’Art Contemporain of Geneva, Hops! at the Festival of Visual and Performing Arts, Link of Bologna. At the Centro nazionale per le arti contemporanee Patrick Tuttofuoco presented his video Boing, 2001, an imaginary voyage through the virtual space of a computer, made with a group of artist friends as propulsive capsules (or flipper balls) of pneumatic post along the routes and highways of the Net. As well as numerous other group exhibitions in London, Milan, Paris, Kanazawa and San Sebastian, he held a solo exhibition in Milan entitled My private-2 in 2004.
