Lucio Pozzi<br />
Lucio Pozzi was born in 1935 in Milan, Italy.<br />
After living a few years in Rome, where he<br />
studied architecture, he came to the United<br />
States in 1962, as a guest of the Harvard<br />
International Summer Seminar. He then settled<br />
in New York and took the US citizenship. He<br />
now shares his time between his Hudson (NY)<br />
and Valeggio s/M (VR) studios.<br />
In 1978 the Museum of Modern Art, New York,<br />
exhibited his early videotapes in one of the<br />
first single-artist exhibitions of the Projects:<br />
Video series. He occasionally writes and has<br />
taught at the Cooper Union, Yale Graduate<br />
“The Next 475 Years Of My Art And Life” is<br />
both a lecture and a work of art. I have<br />
delivered it for about thirty years always with<br />
the same title. Even though it contains a fixed<br />
nucleus of images, it changes over the years<br />
according to circumstances. In this event I<br />
move constantly and hop from one idea to the<br />
next not so much to explain but rather to<br />
trace the evolution of a way of thinking about<br />
art. I describe how I have turned upside down<br />
the canons of my generation’s Conceptual and<br />
Analytic art so as to make of them a point of<br />
departure instead of a point of arrival. Since<br />
then I live my art at the widest range, in all<br />
its possibilities. I have chosen to seek the<br />
intensity of inspiration by structuring a<br />
practice of continuous shifts from one mode<br />
of art making to the next. I believe that<br />
coherence of style and meaning does not<br />
depend on formula but surfaces uncalculated<br />
in the practice of the artist.”<br />
