Biography

Claudio Costa’s anthropological research is open and inventive, but at the same time serious and in its way methodical. This accumulation of materials, an early forerunner of the idea of the work of art as an archive, is tireless…

With Antropologia riseppellita, this at once imaginative and methodical attitude reaches its peak.

…here the attention is even more firmly planted upon the rural world. The industrialized present has to rediscover its peasant background, if not, it risks self-destruction – this seems to be the warning that emerges from the mud-clad crates.

Stefano Castelli
