Collection: Gec (Giacomo Bisotto)

(Cuneo 1982)

Gec lives and works in Turin. In 2007, he graduated in Environmental and Landscape Architecture from the Polytechnic University of Turin. His work is primarily based on using the web to engage the public directly, without whom none of his work could exist. Invitations for viewers to participate actively explore themes such as work, advertising, conscious consumption, and play; their success depends entirely on the public’s response and on how much interest each project manages to generate online. The result is work often created in urban spaces without any authorization: ironic and dramatic images or environmental installations that engage a broad audience through concise, direct language.
Gec has taken part in major exhibitions in Italy and abroad. His exhibitions include “Screens of My Desires,” Triennale Milano (2014); “Night Falls,” Biblioteca Civica Museo Mart, Rovereto (2013); “Epidemic Happiness,” Venice Architecture Biennale (2012).
