Antonio Riello (born 1958) is an Italian visual artist currently living and working in London. His artworks use a variety of techniques such as painting, sculpture, design, photography, installation and video-games. His works have been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries, including the 15th Rome Quadriennale, the 54th and 57th Art Biennale (La Biennale d'Arte di Venezia). He is also a regular arts and culture contributor to the Italian online-magazine DAGOSPIA.[1]

ITALIANI BRAVA GENTE

[edit]

His controversial 1996 artwork about the rise of xenophobia in Italy, consisted of a playable video-game called ITALIANI BRAVA GENTE, and after early criticism was included in the collection of digital artworks of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in 2022.[2][3]

BE SQUARE!

[edit]

His artwork BE SQUARE!, which explores the human factor of museum life, has been hosted at Kunsthalle Wien in Vienna, Galleria Arte Moderna in Torino,[4] and the Baltic in Gateshed/NewCastle.[5] For each of these museums, Riello created custom-designed outfits, transforming the museum workers into living sculptures.[6][7][8]
