Riccardo Previdi Italian, 1974

Riccardo Previdi (Milan, Italy, 1974)  

Born in Milan in 1974, Riccardo Previdi graduated in Architecture from the Milan Polytechnic, and at the same time trained in Figurative Arts at the Brera Fine Arts Academy.   

These different souls are particularly evident in his art and design.  

Since 2006, the artist has collaborated with the Francesca Minini Gallery in Milan, where he has held three solo exhibitions. He also exhibited at the 1st Moscow Biennale, Manifesta 7, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, MARTa in Herford, De Vleeshal in Middelburg and the Italian Cultural Institute in New York, to name but a few.   

He worked for a period in Olafur Eliasson's studio, and in 2004 he realised the Green Light Pavilion, a temporary exhibition structure in which the solo exhibitions of Thomás Saraceno, Monika Sosnowska and Knut Henrik Henriksen, among others, took place. Since 2009, he has collaborated with the Berlin gallery Sommer & Kohl.  

His artistic research questions the possibilities and limits of technological/scientific thinking by laying bare the complex mechanisms behind everyday objects and images, questioning modernity's promises of progress and social redemption.  

The artist now lives and works between Milan and Zurich.
