Gaia Di Lorenzo

Gaia Di Lorenzo is an Italian artist and educator. His research revolves around collective behaviors and their role in self-identification processes. He works on the theme of complexity by intertwining levels of meaning and incorporating different techniques and sources simultaneously. He holds a degree in Literature and Philosophy from the University of Tor Vergata and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Goldsmiths University in London.

Among his exhibitions: in 2022 Panorama, ITALICS, Monopoli curated by Vincenzo De Bellis; Persona, ADA, Rome; in 2021 MATERIA NOVA curated by Massimo Mininni at the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome; A Breath of Art, Puglia, curated by Bruno Barsanti, Elpis Foundation and Galleria Continua. He held lectures at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and Milan. He is the representative of the Minister of Cultural Heritage on the Board of Directors of the Michetti Foundation.

In 2018 Gaia founded CASTRO, an experiential learning program based in Rome. Gaia is a founding member of ART WORKERS ITALIA, an autonomous and non-partisan association, created with the aim of giving a voice to contemporary art workers in Italy. Both activities, that for CASTRO and that for AWI, are parallel to his artistic practice and reflect his interest in collective dynamics and the role of the artist in contemporary society.
