Frith Street Gallery

b. 1962, Cecina, Italy

Massimo Bartolini’s work embraces various materials and techniques, from sculpture and performance to photography. His works have included an elevated floor that created the impression of distorted space; an installation in which a device on the heel of a visitor’s shoes altered the light in the exhibition space; and rooms suffused with perfume and the sound of leaking water. These, often sensual, artworks induce in the viewer a meditative state that is still highly experiential, making us reflect on the relativity of what is stable and unchangeable.

Massimo Bartolini had a solo exhibition at Frith Street Gallery in 2008. Other notable solo exhibitions include MAXXI Roma, Museu Serralves, Porto and Ikon Gallery, Birmingham. Recent group exhibitions include The Moderns, Castello di Rivoli, Italy and Das Lebendige Museum, Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt.
