Arthur Duff<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Arthur Duff was born in Wiesbaden, Germany to American parents. He lives and works in Vicenza, Italy.\u00a0Referring to his creative work, Arthur Duff tends not to speak of \u2018works\u2019, but of a single continuous \u2018experiment\u2019. In indicating the verbal element and light, which are among the main constitutive components, instead of using terms like \u2018word\u2019 or \u2018light\u2019, he prefers terms such as \u2018information\u2019 and \u2018journey\u2019.<\/p>\n
Indeed Duff\u2019s work has always concentrated on the creation of complex spaces of experience, both visual and physical, that use laser projection or the pulsation of images (either luminous or obtained through patterns) to bring forth ever surprising configurations.<\/p>\n
Based on these considerations, the fluid identity and anti-intellectual nature of his poetics, we can read much of the what he does: not so much in terms of a sequence of actions that are apparently highly technical and spectacular, but in terms of a changing, complex and strict dialogue with the spatial coordinates of a present almost entirely made up of digital and virtual experiences.<\/p>\n
In his laser projections, based on the combination of artificial light and spatialized language, as in the knotted stratifications of implied stellar fragments, light is for Duff the metaphoric possibility prior to a transit, a voyage, in the world of information as a potentially infinite physical and dynamic material.<\/p>\n
Duff presented work in \u201cPorportio\u201d at Fortuny Museum, in Venicein 2015. He won the of 2% for Art at the MACRO in Rome with the project \u201cROPE\u201d. He has made several recent urban scale work including \u201cPrecious Objects \u2013 Extraordinary Individuals\u201d at Palazzo Malipiero Barnabo`, \u201cSPIN SERIES\u201d at Santo Spirito in Sassia, \u201cBorrowing You\u201d in Castelfranco Veneto and \u201cTransparency \u2013 Arthur Duff, Jenny Holzer, Julian Opie, Jaume Plensa, Stephan Reusse, Ulla Rauter, Public Art\u201d in Prague. He also participated in several recent group shows, including \u201cLa Grande Magia\u201d at MAMBO in Bologna, \u201cThemes & Variations, Text and Space\u201d at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, \u201cThe Word in Art\u201d at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto. He presented work in the foreign section of the XIV Quadrennial at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome and \u201cIl Palazzo delle Liberta`\u201d at the Contemporary Art Centre Le Papesse in Siena.<\/p>\n
He teaches Multimedia Installation and Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
