Michele Di Menna’s multi-disciplinary art practice spans performance, sculpture, video, sound, installation and collage with an interest in the dialogue between time-based performance and static exhibition-making. Her works make use of morphological processes to propose artistic subjectivity as a continual struggle and form of resistance against easy categorization or normalization into a common-sense sociality. This unconventional approach to art making utilizes performance as its core element.
At Hof Lifs Michele Di Menna will present a performance featuring sculptural bells.
Di Menna studied art at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, Canada and at Städelschule in Frankfurt, Germany where she graduated in 2010. Her work has been presented internationally at galleries and institutions; Lars Friedrich (Berlin), Kunsthalle Wien (Vienna), Institute for Contemporary Arts (London), Istituto Svizzero (Rome), Marres Centre for Contemporary Culture (Maastricht), Andrea Rosen Gallery (New York), Museum Ludwig (Cologne), among others.
