Anna Franceschini

lives and works at Milan, Italy

Anna Franceschini’s research explores objects, artefacts and goods, and the ways in which they are exhibited or displayed, with the aim of re-evaluating their role and relative place in the context of the aesthetics of capital. Her probing of reality is rooted in cinema-as-movement: kinetic sculptures, performance and bachelor machines are, in Franceschini’s eyes, a form of cinema “by other means”; and animation – whether accidental or mechanically generated – offers a way of inspiring wonder, unease, or simply a moment of empathy with the world around us.
Her videos and films have been presented at numerous festivals, including the Rotterdam Film Festival, the Locarno Film Festival, the Torino Film Festival, Lo Schermo dell’Arte in Florence, Courtisane in Ghent, and the Vilnius Film Festival. Among her solo exhibitions and performances: Triennale di Milano; Istituto Svizzero, Milan; Campoli Presti, Paris; Casa FlashArt, Milan; Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, Düsseldorf; Spike Island, Bristol; Objectif Exhibitions, Antwerp; GAM, Turin; Museion, Bolzano; Fiorucci Art Trust, London; Almanac, London; KIOSK, Ghent; Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Venice; Peep Hole, Milan; Vistamare Milan/Pescara. She was one of the artists invited to participate in the 2020 Quadriennale d’Arte, Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome. Recent group shows featuring her work have been held at: Mudam Luxembourg (fall 2023), Fotografiska Museum, Berlin (March 2023); Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi, Venice; Neuer Kunstverein, Vienna; GAMeC, Bergamo; Salzburger Kunstverein, Salzburg; HFKD, Holstebro; Campoli-Presti, Paris; (FKA)Witte de With, Rotterdam; MACRO, Rome; Istituto Svizzero, Milan-Venice; Fondazione ICA, Milan; CAC, Vilnius; Kunstraum, London; Matadero, Madrid; MAXXI, Rome; Les Abbatoirs, Toulouse and Villa Medici, Rome. In 2017 her project CARTABURRO won the Italian Council Prize, promoted and funded by Italy’s Ministry for Culture. In 2019 she made the short film BUSTROFEDICO, a special project for the Italian Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale. In 2022 she was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. Her work is present in numerous public and private collections, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Les Abattoirs in Toulouse, the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, the MACRO in Rome, the GAMeC in Bergamo, the Fondazione Fiera Milano, the MACTE in Termoli, the Nicoletta Fiorucci Collection and the Silvia Fiorucci Collection.
