Alba D’Urbano (born April 13, 1955 in Tivoli, Italy) is a textile and video artist. D'Urbano's most notable work was 1995's ''"hautnah" (close to the skin)''; a series of garments imprinted with life-size digital photographs of her own skin. After an exhibition in 1999, critics stated she depicted nudity as fashionable, provoked voyeurism, and made skin (the external body) just another interface in a world. In addition to her own work, D'Urbano has been a critic and an art philosopher. Since 1995, D'Urbano has been a professor at Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst, in Leipzig, Germany. == Early life == D'Urbano studied philosophy at the Sapienza University of Rome from 1974 to 1978. Her work as an artist was influenced by her affiliation with the ‘Distracted Avantgarde’ (Klemens Gruber), which sought to bring about a paradigm shift in the relationship between art, politics and mass communication. It was against this backdrop that Alba D’Urbano produced experimental radio programmes for the alternative broadcasting station ''Radio Gulliver'' in Tivoli (modelled on stations such as ''Radio Alice'' in Bologna and ''Radio Città Futura'' in Rome) and founded a feminist group.〔Klemens Gruber: ''Die zerstreute Avantgarde. Strategische Kommunikation im Italien der 70er Jahre'', Böhlau-Verlag, Vienna 2010.〕 In 1979, she enrolled in a course of visual arts studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome under Enzo Brunori, graduating in 1983. Experimental works in collaboration with other artists date from that period. One such fellow artist was composer Alessandro Cipriani with whom she created performances, Super-8 films, and artistic events in public spaces.〔http://www.edisonstudio.it/edisonIta/cipriani/cipriani.html〕 Alba D’Urbano moved to (West) Berlin in 1984 and began her studies in visual communication at the Berlin University of the Arts in 1985. In 1989 she graduated as a master student (Meisterschüler-Degree) in experimental film design under Wolfgang Ramsbott. In 1990 she held a scholarship at the Institute for New Media (INM) in Frankfurt am Main, headed by Peter Weibel. It was during that time that she met her future husband, Nicolas Reichelt.〔vgl. http://www.medienkunstnetz.de/werke/esposizione-impraticabile/ und http://on1.zkm.de/zkm/werke/TouchMe〕 After a lectureship at the Offenbach University of Art and Design (HfG) she was appointed to teach at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig in 1995 where she has since held a professorship in computer graphics,〔http://www.hgb-leipzig.de/index.php?a=person&b=mitarb&id=22&js=2&〕 and has taught the class for intermedia since 1998.〔http://www.hgb-leipzig.de/index.php?a=studgang&b=mk&c=&d=&p=261&〕 In 2003–2004 she taught at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano for one academic year. Since 2000 she has curated numerous exhibitions at the national and international level as part of her university duties, addressing political and social issues and incorporating both process-orientated and media-reflective methods. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alba D’Urbano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
