WHO
Born in 1944 near Turin, Italy, Gilberto Zorio studied art at the
Academia de Belle Arti, in Turin. He exhibited his work in key shows of
Arte Povera in 1967 and 1968 and mounted his first solo exhibition at
the Galleria Sperone, Turin, in 1967. A 1976 exhibition at the
Kunstmuseum in Lucerne was followed in 1979 by a retrospective of the
artist's work at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. In 1985, the
Kunstverein, Stuttgart, organized a retrospective that traveled
throughout Europe. Recently, Zorio's work was included in the exhibition
of Arte Povera at Tate Modern, in London. Zorio lives and works in
Turin.
Alexander Alberro teaches art history at the University of Florida. He
has edited books of writing by Dan Graham and Vito Acconci and is
co-editor of Recording Conceptual Art (University of California Press,
2001) and Conceptual Art: A Critical Anthology (MIT Press, 1999). His
book Conceptual Art and the Politics of Publicity is forthcoming from
MIT Press.
