// silvio palladino          

 

His personal investigation focuses on the dynamics of dialogue and participation in relation to human feelings, relations and behaviours, in the context of contemporary society. Through installations and participatory events he invites the public to engage in a constructive dialogue on current themes, emphasising the hidden mechanisms on which people, relationships and structures are based. He strongly believes in the importance of working in a public environment aiming to generate an interstice within the existing social and economic system. Alongside numerous exhibitions in London and internationally, he has curated Public View 2008 and has been guest lecturer at the Visual perception and communication course at the University of Florence.
