Chiaralice Rizzi

Alessandro Laita (1979) and Chiaralice Rizzi (1982) graduated in Visual Arts from IUAV in Venice in 2009. From 2010 to 2015 they worked as assistants for the courses of Antonello Frongia, Lewis Baltz and Adrian Paci. Their artistic practice revolves around the relationships between landscape, image, memory and their representation. In their work, which spans various media, images become stories, going beyond the simple visual understanding of them to raise questions around photography as practice. In 2016 they were awarded the Lewis Baltz Research Fund and published their first book with MACK (London). They have received scholarships and residencies as artists in Venice (Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation – Italy), Winterthur (Villa Straüli – Switzerland), Saratoga Springs (YADDO – U.S.A), Paris (Citè Internationale desArts – France). They live and work in Milan.
