Luigi Presicce (Porto Cesareo, 1976) lives in Florence. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Lecce, deliberately choosing not to discuss his thesis. His work has been influenced by his independent studies. In 2007 he attended the Advanced Course in Visual Arts (CSAV) at the Antonio Ratti Foundation in Como with Joan Jonas. In 2008, as part of Artist in Residence, he participated in the workshop in Viafarini in Milan with Kim Jones. In Milan, in 2008, with Luca Francesconi and Valentina Suma, he founded Brownmagazine and later Brown Project Space, for which he is responsible for programming. In 2011 with Giusy Checola and Salvatore Baldi he founded Archiviazioni in Lecce (exercises of investigation and discussion on the contemporary South). In 2012 he took part in Artists in Residence at MACRO in Rome, extending his invitation to nine other artists (Laboratorio). Since 2010, with Luigi Negro, Emilio Fantin, Giancarlo Norese and Cesare Pietroiusti he has been involved in the Lu Cafausu project that promotes La festa dei vivi (reflecting on death) and with which he was invited by AND AND to dOCUMENTA13, Kassel. Since 2016 he has been a founding member of the Lac o le Mon Foundation in San Cesario di Lecce. With Francesco Lauretta since 2017 he has been part of the Scuola di Santa Rosa, a free school of drawing en plein air based in Florence and New York. He has been selected for the 2018 Studio Program at Artists Allianc Inc, New York and TAD Residency at Monastero del Carmine, Bergamo. He conceived and curated in 2018 and 2019 the Symposium of Painting at the Lac o le Mon Foundation, a residence/platform focused on Italian painting of the last thirty years.
