Alex Cecchetti (sources for date of birth vary between 1977 and 1981) is an Italian artist, poet and choreographer. Based in Paris and London. == Works == "Alex Cecchetti has developed a unique practice, difficult to classify, that could be called art of avoidance: tactical and poetic, aesthetic and materialistic, its system leads to produce specific situations that can exist both inside and outside the traditional exhibitions. His staging of an invisible choreography, exposing naked body in a public space, hidden even to the artist himself, and whose impossible documentation is the final production of the work, reveals a principle of both discontact and shift that is the actual core of his work voluntarily heterogene in its diverse forms, but united in the method. Collaborative, Alex Cecchetti engages the viewer physically and intellectually, in a concrete experience where his work is perceived as a mental thing and the thought as a form. "〔("La vie matérielle, Yann Chateigné" ), catalogue was published on the occasion of La vie matérielle exhibition, presented at the Fondation d'entreprise Ricard, Paris, 2013〕 Since 2014 Alex Cecchetti created and curates a program of poetry and science, Voices of Urgency:〔("Voices of Urgency" ), Foire internationale d'art contemporain, FIAC, Paris〕 a series of four events in which poetry enters in dialogues with science to play a fundamental role within our society. Voices of Urgency is hosted by École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts and is presented in the official frame of the FIAC, Foire internationale d'art contemporain, Paris. Poetry and oral transmission are at the core of the performance "Summer Is Not The Prize of Winter" that Alex Cecchetti presented for the first time at The CAC Contemporaray Art Centre Vilnius. “Alex Cecchetti’s “relay performance” Summer Is Not the Prize of Winter, is a deeply satisfying meditation on the nature of existence and the capacity of language, image, and object to embody life’s most essential concerns."〔("Stephanie Snyder on ArtForum" )〕 ''Walking Backwards''〔("Walking Backwards" ), Performance at the Jardin des plantes, in the frame of ("FIAC" ), Paris, 2013〕 is a performance first conceived for the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. The artists and some collaborators invited the spectators to walk backwards in a secret part of the gardens, while accompanied by a story wispered from their backs. "When you walk backwards, you have no knowledge of the images that come, like in dreams or movies, it is not the light that make the difference. We dream with our eyes shut after all, don't we?"〔("Alex Cecchetti interview" )〕 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「Alex Cecchetti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
