was born on June the 2nd, 1971, in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania). He divides
his time between Milan and Cesena. From 1990 to 1994 he worked as a lighting
technician first and afterwards as a light designer for the theatre company
A. Artisti Associati in Gorizia.
From 1994 to 1990 he transferred to Tuscany and collaborated with the Centro
per la Sperimentazione e la Ricerca Teatrale of Pontedera run by R. Bacci,
the Work Center run by Grotowskji, the Teatro Sudio of Scandicci and the
Compagnia della Fortezza of Volterra run by A. Punzo, working both in productions
and for the Volterrateatro Festival first covering the role of light designer
and afterwards as Technical Director. He also collaborated with the company
C. Tato e C. Quartucci of Rome, with the dance company Virgilio Sieni of
Florence and for the open-air theatre Dutch company Dogtroep set in the
old dock of Amsterdam.
Since 1998 he has been working as a lighting technician for the Sociétas
Raffaello Sanzio of Cesena, engaged in several productions and world tours.
Over the last few years, together with the director Romeo Castellucci,
he has been closely following the creative design and realization of lighting,
not just implementing prepared lighting schemes.
For many years he has been backing up the work on lights by using the camera
in order to document and study light, form and especially darkness in the
theatre, as if the two experiences (the studying of light and photography)
were complementary and reciprocally necessary in order to increase the
sensitivity and subtlety of a look at a progressive experience in scenic
space.
is an artist and a performer from Trieste who was formed under the great
Slovene constructivist August Cernigoj. At the beginning of 70ies she firstly
exhibited and performed feminist themes in several Italian and international
venues. Then she started exploring materials that are rarely used in the
artistic field like tulle and copper. Attracted by
the esoteric language of symbols, she has developed various thematical
series such as "The Dresses of the Soul", "Androgino-ginandro" and "The
Knight". In her last performances, "Fragile!"(2003-04),
she deals with the ritual of wedding and its fragility. With her critical
perspective, she is interpreting this institution, until it becomes a nightmare.

ADDITIONAL SKILLS

was born in 1946. Between the years 1963 and 1969 he studied at the Academy
of Fine Arts in Bratislava under Professor Peter Matejka. In 1992 he was
appointed Professor. Between 1990 and 2004 he worked at the Department
of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts. From 2004 he has been working
at the Department of Fine Arts and Inter-media, Faculty of Art, Technical
University, Ko¹ice. He lives in Bratislava (Slovakia).
He is one of the most outstanding representatives of Slovak conceptual
art. His creative activities cover various genres, from painting through
installation to photography and graphic art. His most important works include
the following cycles, many of which were presented at exhibitions abroad.
Claus Groh responded most favourably to the conceptual-action project titled
Out of Tow, 1970, and mentioned it in his work Aktuelle Kunst aus Osteuropa,
DuMonnt Verlag, München, 1972. There followed the cycle HABITAT, 1975,
in which the artist fully developed the cosmological theme which, for a
rather long time, was so significant for his work. In his cycle Habitat
he contemplated, above all, the planet Earth and he expressed the Earth
visually like a house, the walls and the roof of which he composed from
the names of the continents. The global continuation of this theme was
the cycle Pyramids, 1975 - 1978, there followed the cycle Concentration
and Disintegration of Energies, 1976 - 1980, in which hitherto representation
of the visual Universe was replaced with the image of artist's inner universe
with own building units like birth, existence, extinction with the symbols
of : *,—›, †. Sikora used the same units also in the subsequent
series of action auto-portraits NO! NO! YES?. During the years 1983 - 1985
he
made a large cycle Antropic Principle, the most subjective of all his cycles,
in which, on the basis of the concrete scientific hypothesis he tried to
depict a ''great unity'' between man and the Universe. Sikora's work of
the 90s is typical for the creation of large paintings and graphic works.
The
spectrum of his contemplation was expanded and he became interested in
suprematism in the cycles Graves for Suprematists and The Grave for Maleviè
from the 90s, which he constituted as his own tribute to their avant-garde
thought. In the present time in his work this theme has been recurrent,
nevertheless, his cycle The Grave for Maleviè (Onward!), 1999 - 2005, has
definitely an appellative character.
