Luca Buvoli intertwines mythology, science and ideology with daily life and humor through animated film/videos, installations, sculptures, paintings and drawings. His series Not-a-Superhero explores the construction of identity and the attempt to reach one’s ideal. The pseudo-scientific “method” in Flying —Practical Training investigates humanity’s desire to fly. His project Meta-Futurism derails the rhetoric of velocity and violence associated with the controversial Italian avant-garde movement. Buvoli has exhibited solo shows at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (2001) and the M.I.T. List Center, Cambridge (2000); group shows include MoMA PS1 (2000 and 2001), MoMA (2004 and 2009), the 2007 Venice Biennale, the Guggenheim Museum (2010) and the Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin (2010). His public commissions include the Hobby Airport in Houston, TX. Buvoli is a Fulbright Fellow and has received grants and awards from the Guggenheim Foundation and the Barnett and Annalee Newman Foundation. Buvoli’s works are in the collections of MoMA and the Guggenheim Museum. Buvoli was born in Italy in 1963 and now lives in New York.
