Can Mamella // Workshop with Gian Maria Tosatti

Gian Maria Tosatti is an Italian visual artist.  His projects are usually long-term investigations on specific topics related to the concept of identity, with a viewpoint from the political to the spiritual. His work consists mainly of large-scale site-specific installations conceived for entire buildings or urban areas. His practice often involves the communities of the places where he works.

In 2015, ArtReview put him on the list of the 30 most interesting artists of his generation (Future Greats).  In 2014, the international magazine Domus declared his installation My Dreams, They’ll Never Surrender, among the ten best shows in the world for that year. Since 2021, he has been the artistic director of Rome Quadriennale, an Italian foundation for the research and promotion of Italian contemporary art. In 2022, he was the first artist in the history of the Venice Biennale to represent Italy alone in the national pavilion. Tosatti is also a journalist. He’s a columnist for Corriere della Sera and the magazine Opera Viva. He writes essays on art and politics.​
