Pietro Sanguineti

Presented by: Nusser & Baumgart Contemporary


1965, Stuttgart, Germany

 

Pietro Sanguineti was a master student of Joseph Kosuth and currently lives and works in Berlin.

 

Working in a variety of media including installation, sculpture, and digital film, Sanguineti explores the visual structure of words and images and the meaning and function of language. He transforms slogans, logos, and fragments of advertisements into videos, light boxes, and “word” sculptures which reveal new meanings about our everyday world of mass consumption.

 

Sanguineti’s work has been exhibited in numerous international solo and group exhibtions including nonstop romance, Nusser & Baumgart Contemporary, Munich (2006); EGO, Stadtgalerie, Kiel (2003); full, Galerie der Stadt Stuttgart (2003); Idylle, Galerie der Stadt Remscheid, Museo Domus Artium, Salamanca, Spain, and Phoenix Kulturstiftung/Sammlung Falckenberg, Hamburg (2007–08); Private/Corporate II. A Dialogue with the Ileana Sonnabend and DaimlerChrysler Collections, Hans Huth, Berlin (2003); I love you too, but..., Galerie für zeitgenössische Kunst, Leipzig (2000); and TALK.Show, Haus der Kunst, Munich (1999).

 

His work is in private and public collections including DaimlerChrysler, Galerie der Stadt Stuttgart, Munich Re, and Mercedes Benz.
