Eugenio Tibaldi: Art of the Margin and Mutability
Eugenio Tibaldi, born in 1977 in Alba, is an Italian artist whose work explores the interplay between economy and contemporary landscapes, with a particular emphasis on marginality. He has studied at CSAV – Fondazione Antonio Ratti and Domus Academy, and served as an Affiliated Fellow at the American Academy in Rome. His art has been showcased in prominent venues such as the Galleria Nazionale di Roma, Museo del Novecento, MAXXI, and the Cuba Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2019. Tibaldi's themes include regeneration and the architectural language, viewing peripheral areas as spaces for renewal. His project 'Architetture minime' focuses on homeless shelters, while his 2020 installation 'Habitat' at Galleria Nazionale di Roma captures everyday life. Rejecting the title of architect, he seeks to broaden the architectural language, indicating human presence through various traces. A self-portrait at Museo Ettore Fico featured seven altered Nutella jars, representing his personal narrative.
