Performance by Gianna T: A day as a work of art

A day as a work of art, a performance by Gianna T, explores the creative potential found in misalignment and unlearning of conventions. In the performance, initially born out of a frustration he felt towards painting, Gianna harasses the surfaces of canvas to become one with his artwork and spend a day as an alive walking painting creature. This extension of his body into one of the oldest and most renowned mediums brings about an unexpected equilibrium, leading him to uncharted territory. By combining the heterogeneous energies of humour and his comprehensive exploration of life’s spectrum, Gianna delves into the dynamic interplay between vibrant anarchy and the profound meaning it conveys

Gianna T (b. Pesaro, Italy) lives and works in London. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino, Italy. Recent exhibitions and projects include: Zoonosi (Group Exhibition) at Metaforte (Venice, 2020), Gato Vermelho (Performance Art Festival) at Caidas da Rainha (Portugal, 2020), THE FUCKUPS FESTIVAL at Studio Cromie Gallery (Italy, 2019), South Bermondsey Art Trail (London, 2020).
