Anna Galtarossa was born in Bussolengo, Verona, in 1975. She lives and works in San Pietro in Cariano, Verona, and New York where, in 2004, she held her first solo show at the Spencer Brownstone Gallery. Anna Galtarossa works and projects are the outcome of phantasmagorical stories and myths arising from a colorful imagination, and in which dreams and desires become reality.
Her works have been seen in many group- and solo shows, among which Kamchatka, curated by Anna Daneri, Viafarini, Milan, 2005; T2 Torino Triennale, Castello di Rivoli, 2008; Insiders, the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Bordeaux, and Emerging Talents, Nuova Arte Italiana, selected by the curator Andrea Lissoni for the Centro di Cultura Contemporanea La Strozzina, Florence, 2009; Linguaggi e Sperimentazioni, MART, Rovereto, and The Library of Babel, a group show curated by Anna-Catarina Gebbers, the Zabludowicz Collection, London, 2010. In 2010 she won the first edition of the Moroso Prize, and inaugurated her solo show Divinità Domestiche, curated by Maria Rosa Sossai, at Studio la Città, Verona. Since then her sculptures have been seen at Palazzo Forti, Verona, and the Magazzini del Sale, Venice, on the occasion of the show L’Art de l’Apparence, l’apparence de l’Art, 2011; and recently at the Lapidarium Museum, Novigrad, 2013.
In 2007 she began to collaborate with the Argentinean artist Daniel González for the creation of such large-scale public projects as Chili Moon Town Tour, a floating and itinerant dream city that made its debut as a special project for México Arte Contemporáneo; and Homeless Rocket With Chandeliers, a 30 meter crane that was used every day for two years in Lambrate, Milan.
After this they presented the show No Money No Honey at the Spencer Brownstone Gallery, New York, and also realized a protest performance, City of Dreams, for the streets of New York in 2009. Studio la Città presented the site-specific project Cloud Factory, with an essay by Giacinto Dipietrantonio, in 2012, while the Diana Lowenstein Gallery in Miami allowed them to transform the gallery rooms into a fantastic disco club on the occasion of their double exhibition Criminal Aesthetic Fashion at the Skyscraper Club in 2013.
