Alessandro Facente (Anzio, Italy, 1982) is an art critic and independent curator who lives in New York and works between USA, Morocco and Europe. His research focuses on the crossover and interplay of art criticism and curatorship by following the artist’s practice from the concept to the final creation of the piece of art, as 'embedded curator'. Currently he is shaping this mechanism of artist-curator relationship and dynamic through a theory that he refers to as ‘curaticism’, an ongoing attitude towards curating in which the curator’s role is played to ‘critically’ uncover the ideas and thoughts resulting from an in-progress visual phenomenon and ‘curatorially’ position the same phenomenon within an equally in-progress contemporary scenario. Facente has curated solo, group exhibitions and talks in non-profit spaces, foundations, galleries and museums, including the 5th Marrakech Biennale, Italian Institute of Culture in New York, TranzitDisplay in Prague, RU (Residency Unlimited), Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space in New York, HIAP in Helsinki, Finland, and Ateliê397 in São Paulo, Brazil. His articles, interviews and essays have appeared in art magazines such as Artribune, DROME magazine, Exibart, TemporaryArtReview and DOMUS.
