Beatrice Marchi

Künstlerische Mitarbeit, 01.04.2024, (AdBK Nürnberg)

Beatrice Marchi (born in Gallarate, Italy, 1986) is a visual artist living and working in Berlin.

She studied with Alberto Garutti at the Accademia di Brera in Milan and with Jutta Koether at Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg, receiving an MFA in 2017. 

Using various media such as video, performance, and painting, Beatrice Marchi works with a series of characters that allow her to narrate moments of personal experience to question collective issues such as gender stereotypes, the desire for belonging, and generational conflict. Through the perspective of the clown or the animal, she observes the dynamics of power, control, and vulnerability that characterize human societies.

In 2023, she won the ArteVisione award, which supports artists working with moving images. Her work has been presented in both solo and group exhibitions at international institutions and galleries, including Fort Biennale 01, Festung Franzensfeste (TBA, 2024); Museion, Bozen (2023); Pogobar, KW, Berlin (2023); MAXXI L’Aquila (2022); Fondazione Prada, Milan and Tokyo (2022); Kunstquartier Bethanien, Berlin (2021); Istituto Svizzero, Milan (2021); MACRO, Rome (2021); Sandy Brown, Berlin (2020); Palazzo Reale, Milan (2019); Performance Space, New York (2018); Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin (2017); 16th Rome Art Quadriennale, Rome (2016).

Since 2023 she has worked as a professor of fine arts at NABA University, Milan and since 2024, as assistant professor in Heike Baranowsky’s class at AdBK Nürnberg.
