Margherita Moscardini

Incorporating time and space, landscape and architecture, image and illusion, Margherita Moscardini often focuses on demolition sites and abandoned landscapes in order to reveal undercurrents and beliefs of pictured locations. Moscardini is most interested in the transformation of urban landscapes, working on long-term projects in order to capture the relationship between place and the social reality of living in it. Through her work, Moscardini addresses temporality and its effect on architecture, environment, and further on communities. Attempting to give history time to develop, her drawings, writings, scale models and video-documents evoke the potential for change and an evolving future.


Moscardini has displayed her work in solo shows throughout Italy at Fondazione La Quadriennale in Rome, SpazioA Art Gallery in Pistoia, Villa Medicea La Magia in Quarrata, and ArtToday Center for Contemporary Art in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Along with her solo exhibitions, she has contributed to group shows at galleries such as Il Quadraro in Rome, Officine 2 in Bologna and Cesena, Italy, Palazzo Reale in Milan, and The Barber Shop in Lisbon, Portugal. In 2010 she was shortlisted for EX3 Premio Toscana Contemporanea award and received the Pinacoteca Agnelli and Campigna Prize in 2007.
