Emilio Vavarella

Emilio Vavarella is an Italian artist working at the intersection of interdisciplinary art practice, theoretical research and media experimentation. His work explores the relationship between subjectivity, nonhuman creativity and technological power. It is informed by the history of conceptual art, digital and network cultures, and new media practices. Vavarella moves seamlessly between old and new media, and exploits technical errors and other unpredictabilities to reveal the logic and the hidden structures of power.


Esteemed venues that have exhibited Vavarellas work include: MAXXI Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo; KANAL Centre Pompidou; MAMbo Museo dArte Moderna di Bologna; Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb; Museu de Cincies Naturals of Barcelona, The Photographers Gallery of London, Museo de Arte de Caldas; Villa Manin; Museo Nacional Bellas Artes in Santiago; Museu das Comunicaes of Lisbon, National Art Center of Tokyo; Eyebeam Art and Technology Center and Museum of Contemporary Art Vojvodina. His artworks have been exhibited at film festivals such as Torontos Images Festival; Torino Film Festival, and the St. Louis International Film Festival, and at many international media art festivals, among which: EMAF European Media Art Festival; JMAF Japan Media Arts Festival; Stuttgarter Filmwinter Festival for Expanded Media; BVAM Media Art Biennale; and NYEAF New York Electronic Arts Festival.


Vavarella has been awarded numerous art prizes and grants, among which the Exibart Art Prize (2020); Italian Council award (2019); Premio Fattori Contemporaneo (2019); SIAE Nuove Opere (2019); the NYSCA Electronic Media and Film Finishing Funds grant (2016); the Francesco Fabbri Prize for Contemporary Art (2015) and the MovinUp Grant (2015).
