BIOGRAPHY


Giovanni Bai (Milano, Italia, 1952). Sociologist and artist, publisher, performer and independent curator, Bai concentrates on the issues of communication and functioning of media. He has always seen the work of an artist as a moment of reflection on art and the problems of society, progressively shifting his attention to the metropolis and to museums as an institution, experimenting the possible usage of electronic images.

In 1990 he founded Museo Teo, “a museum without a location and without works of art”, an atypical institution for the diffusion of contemporary art, seen as a continuously changing collective work of art, and since 1991 has published Museo Teo Artfanzine, a creative and alternative magazine (giving free rein to the graphic designers and hence always featuring a different format and graphic layout).

He has exhibited his works in the main Italian cities as well as in Paris, London, Berlin, Tokyo, Shanghai and San Francisco.

He has worked with newspapers and magazines in Italy, France and Japan and has

written the books: Manuale per il giovane artista (1996), Immagini della società (2005), Leggere la società (2012). He teaches Science of Communication at ITSOS Albe Steiner Multimedia Communication Institute, Milan.

His most recent video works are dedicated to the theme of the “metropolis: noise, sound & songs”.
