Residents from Denmark
Margherita Moscardini
Margherita Moscardini investigates the relationships between urban, social and natural transformative processes. She focuses on abandoned spaces and areas undergoing mass demolition where the waste systems reflect a paradigm of local entanglements. Her practice favors process and long-term projects, considering the context as a medium including: the existing architecture, the landscape where the material environment is designed (as geo-morphological features), and how urban planning conditions the behaviors of local communities. The context often suggests specific issues, materials and methods of the work, which she carries out through large-scale interventions, drawings, writings, scale models and video-documents.
Margherita Moscardini (born 1981 in Italy) studied Cultural Anthropology at the Academy of Fine Arts, Italy and attended the Antonio Ratti Foundation, Como, Italy. Moscardini has developed projects in Bulgaria, France, Italy, South Korea, and Turkey. Her work has been exhibited at the Italian Institute of Culture of Istanbul, Turkey; Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, Italy; ArtToday CCA, Bulgaria; SongEun Art Space, South Korea; Schauwerk Foundation, Germany; Palazzo Reale, Italy; Palazzo Strozzi Foundation, Italy. She is currently working on a project at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Seoul, South Korea.
