Olga Danelone

Biography

Olga Danelone was born in Italy. She took artistic and multimedia studies in both Udine and Urbino. Together with her work as a painter, at first, she carried out an analysis on Eastern philosophy and, afterwards, along with scientific themes, on Western philosophy. Philosophy and science are still part of her personal and artistic research. She has begun her exhibition activities in 1986 and her works are found in private and public collections both in Italy and around the world. Among others, we can mention: Lucca Biennale 2018, Inventories and Inventions at Palazzo Ferrajoli in Rome in 2013, the 54th Venice Biennale in 2011 for the Italian Pavilion F.V.G. and in the same year the exhibition Standby at the Maria Cilena Gallery in Milan. In Slovenia, the solo exhibition Tale of Multiverses at Mestna Galerija in Nova Gorica, in 2009; we also recall the multimedia event The Art Card organized by Sharjah Art Museum in United Arab Emirates, in 2005.

Artistic Research

Olga Danelone combines multiple techniques and languages to bring into the dynamics of contemporary urban life the scientific concept, very dear to her, of trophallaxis: the reciprocal exchange of nourishment that on the one hand unites all the components of a colony of social insects and on the other hand plays an important role in the cohesion of the group itself.

Olga Danelone, through the expansion of roads and its interweaving, the deviations, escalators, roundabouts and confluences, tells of the shared food as a founding element of the cohesion of the group and inescapable social bond.

In the recent idea of the brand "Olga Danelone - International Street View" to be imprinted on maps, there is the further role of ‘Creator of destinies’, approved and stamped, our "to-come" ready and available to all. The beginning of an era where automatism is accepted as an unconscious wish embedded in chemistry.
