Chiara Fumai
Chiara Fumai’s performative practice belongs to the tradition of female psychics. She freely (mis)interprets and combines the words of different controversial entities into new stories, questioning their symbolic meaning and representation. Her work engages radical feminism, media culture, language and repression. Fumai’s starting point is lecture-performances, which later evolves into installations, videos, collages, sound, embroidery and fictional documentation.
Chiara Fumai lives in Milan. She was the winner of the ninth edition of the Furla Art Award, 2013. Recent solo exhibitions include Der Hexenhammer, Museion, Bolzano, Italy, 2015; With Love from $inister, A Palazzo Gallery, Brescia, 2013; and I Did Not Say or Mean ‘Warning’, Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice, 2013.
