Biography
Alex Cecchetti (IT, 1977, based in Paris) is an artist, poet and choreographer whose practice can be described in terms of an art of evasion: tactile and poetic, aesthetic and material, spanning objects and situations. His new project, Jupes de Dervish, is a work in progress in which Cecchetti applies visual motifs and slogans to skirt fabrics. On display will be unique skirts with designs painted on the fabric, and others where the motif is printed. The skirts will be exhibited in such a way that visitors will be able to wear them and dance in the space. The spinning movement and the undulating effect it creates allows the skirts to be appreciated to their full potential.
In 2020, Cecchetti presented Occupie Paradit in collaboration with Laure Prouvost, at Netwerk, Aalst, Belgium. Solo exhibitions: Frac PACA, Marseille; Spike Island, Bristol; Void, Derry (2018); La Ferme du Buisson, Noisiel; Centre For Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle, Warsaw; Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin (2017).
