Adelaide Cioni

Adelaide Cioni studied drawing at UCLA, Los Angeles, and sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts, Rome. With an MA in contemporary history and a master’s degree in Literary Translation, for ten years she translated American literature, including John Cheever, David Foster Wallace, and Lydia Davis, among others. Her work moves at the intersection of textile, painting, and performance. The constant elements at the core of her practice are drawing, an absence of narration, and a feminist approach. In recent years her practice has expanded into space, creating a dialogue with music and dance, in a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach. She is represented by P420, Bologna, and The Approach, London.

Recent projects include True Form, The Approach, London, UK, Touch Song, St. James Church, Piccadilly, London, UK, Drawings for Myself, P420, Bologna, IT, Il mondo, Centro Pecci, Prato, IT, Italian Painting Today, Triennale Milano, IT, Ab ovo / On Patterns, Mimosa House, London, UK, Io dico io (I say I), Galleria Nazionale, Roma, IT.
