Chiara Bugatti

Chiara Bugatti (b. 1991, Italy) is an artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. Working across sculpture, installation, text, performance and moving image, her practice explores materiality, monumentality and the ways power is embedded in how we measure, inhabit and represent the world.Her work often begins with materials such as marble, stone and earth, which she approaches as both physical matter and carriers of histories, associations and political structures. Through an open-ended process of experimentation and rehearsal, Bugatti stages spacial situations where materials and objects resist fixed meanings and scales.Bugatti holds an MFA from Umeå Academy of Fine Arts and a Postmaster from the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm. Her work has been exhibited internationally in institutions including Bonniers Konsthall, Marabouparken, Stuttgart Art Museum and Palazzo Monti. She has recently collaborated at two theatre pieces which premiered respectively at Die Württembergische Staatstheater Stuttgart and HNK The Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb.
