ADELAIDE CIONI
Adelaide Cioni studied drawing at UCLA, Los Angeles, and has a BA in Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. With an MA in contemporary history and a master’s degree in Literary Translation, for ten years she translated American literature (John Cheever, Lydia Davis, David Foster Wallace, amongst others). In 2012 she finished the translation of Cheever’s journals and decided to quit translating literature, thereby she started her artistic practice.
Her work moves at the intersection of textile, painting, and performance. The constant elements at the core of her practice are drawing, an absence of narration and a feminist viewpoint. Over the past year she has been connecting her work to music and dance, in a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach. She lives and works between Spoleto (IT) and London.****
