LUCA BOFFI

Biography

Luca Boffi (also known as Alberonero) was born in Milano, Italy in 1991. He works as an artist and farmer near Modena, Italy.
He studies visual perception, landscape transformations, processes of transition and reciprocity between living beings, and between the natural and the artificial. He interprets his surroundings in order to restore them starting from the posture and gesture of his own practice.
In 2013, he graduated in Interior Design at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy. He embarked on an artistic journey in which painting, sculpture, environmental installation, performance art and video are practices employed with the aim of participating in the narration and valorization of a landscape and its memories, in an architectural and poetic way, through the active involvement of the communities that inhabit it, and through the listening to the needs of the places.

«My artistic practice develops from the scientific study of the grid as an optical device through which to measure, order, and reinvent the environment. It finds form in construction in nature, with installations and performative actions born from the sensitive listening of the site of action, from the desire to be a place and to participate in space in an architectural and poetic sense. The intervention in both urban and natural contexts is aimed at enhancing collective memories and territorial needs through the involvement of participants and communities in practices of co-research and unprecedented narratives of places, to contribute to a common action.» Luca Boffi
In 2022 he won the Italian Council – XI edition with the editorial project Caro Campo. Diario di lavoro. In 2023 he won “L’Italia è un desiderio. Open call sul paesaggio contemporaneo” and in 2024 the PAC – Piano Arte Contemporanea with the project Eridano, il Po, presented by Fondazione Un Paese. In 2024 he was invited to participate in the fourth edition of the international event Forever Is Now in Giza, Egypt, for which he created a site-specific work in dialogue with the Pyramids.

Luca Boffi has exhibited in and collaborated with institutions in Italy and around the world such as: ISA – Universidad de las Artes, Havana; Arte Sella, Borgo Valsugana; MAMbo, Bologna; Centrale Fies, Dro; Design Hunter, Mexico City; MUFOCO, Cinisello Balsamo; University of Balamand in Lebanon; Univesitat Politècnica de València, Valencia; La Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Modena e Contemporanea, Rome; La Triennale, Milan; Domaine de Boisbuchet, Lessac; Fabrica, Treviso; Santa Paula Art Museum in California; Palazzo Fabroni, Pistoia; Plateforme, Paris; Museo internazionale e biblioteca della musica, Bologna; Fondazione del Monte, Bologna; Fabric Art Festival, Fall River US; Noa Noa Art Residency, Bali; Museo Espacio Caballero, Buenos Aires; Art Basel, Miami.
He has worked in several European capitals and in Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Azores, Cuba, Egypt, Estonia, Indonesia, Lebanon, Mexico, USA.
