Angelo Musco

Placentas, eggs, nests, genetic structures, natural architectures, a multitude of interwoven human bodies representing containers of life in all possible aspects.  These are some of the recurrent images that populate Angelo Musco’s mysterious installations, photographs and videos.

Musco’s entire body of work is driven by personal experience: a delayed birth at the eleventh month due to hormonal dysfunction, and a difficult delivery which has left deep marks both in the artist’s unconscious memories and in his physical body.

His performances have been featured twice in connection with the Armory Show: in 2004 the artist presented ILLA in both VIP lounges; in 2005 Parthenogenesis, which took place in the Atrium Garden in mid-town Manhattan.  His most recent installation, LACTIS, was exhibited with great success during Scope Miami 2006.

Born in Naples, Italy, in 1973, Angelo Musco was awarded a scholarship to attend the University of Granada, Spain, and received his BA from the Art Academy in Naples.  Musco’s work has been showed in Italy, Australia, Russia, Chile, and the USA.  In 2002 he was awarded the IDAA, International Digital Art Award in Australia.  The artist currently works and lives in NYC.  In 2003  CHARTA editions published Musco’s first artist book and catalogue, OPERAPRENA.
