Biography

Lisa Borginani Lisa Borginani Lisa Borginani Lisa Borginani Lisa Borginani Lisa Borginani Lisa Borginani
b. Verona, 1979. I live and work in Milan.

In the last 15 years, my installations and photography have been exhibited in both private and public Institutions worldwide. My work has been displayed at the Embassy of Italy in Washington D.C., the European Parliament in Brussels, and The Italian Cultural Institutes in London, Singapore, San Francisco, and Vienna and more. 

Since October 2017 my work “Waves of Light” has been permanently installed at the Hospital San Raffaele in Milan. 
My focus embraces contemporary artistic interpretations of photography, in addition to conceptual “mobile installations” created on a large scale, to interact within the existing architecture. 

The conceptual aspect combines a focus on installation within its environment (according to its architecture and history) and developing an on-going dialogue with the space that surrounds it, offering new ways for the public to observe and enjoy their installation. 

My latest work 'The Unexpected meets Rationalism’ was selected by  the Committee of the Art Academy in Milan ‘Accademia di Brera’ and Fondazione Comacina for their international annual context. I won the art residency at A house built on Comacina Island by the famous architect Pietro Lingeri in 1939. He was a prominent member of the Italian rationalism movement. 'The Unexpected meets Rationalism’ is focused on the interaction between the existing architecture and contemporary artistic creation. It is a mobile and flexible installation made of nets.
The idea hinges upon the creation of a threedimensional installation made of nets; it also relies on mobility, that is, on the constant physical transformation of the structure in space through the use of tension points. 

The concept of moving tension points derives from the infinite ways in which the forms and drawings of nets can be transformed by vertexes and curves when nets are anchored in different points and are kept in constant tension. These points are studied in relation to the environment that surrounds them and to the way they interact with it (also leading the observer to interact with them).

In May 2019 the paper “The rational space of art. Pietro Lingeri and the Installations of Lisa Borgiani” written by the Architect Alessandro Colombo has been approved by the American Research Institute for Policy Development - publication on the International Journal of Art and Art History Vol. 7 No. 1, 2019


The Art of Nets_Decalogue

1_The Art of the Net defines the artistic activities that take place in space in search of the net shape.

2_The shape of the net is defined by the forces that space and the restraining conditions define through the artist's action

3_The search is carried out using the net, an industrial material that has no connection with the artistic sphere and has no shape per se; rather, it takes shape when it is subjected to forces that, by inducing states of tension in the material, compel it to find a balance, by assuming in fact a unique, unexpected and unpredictable shape.

4_The forces are induced by the net through tension points, which are defined by the space in which one operates and they are sought in this space.

5_The art of the net expresses itself in relation to the architectural space, defined as the space resulting from the human design of the space of living, of the city, of the landscape and, therefore, of the man-made environment too (the product of human work).

6_The artist does not design the form a priori; rather she carries out a research, using a working method that is based on a few, simple rules.

7_The space, whatever it is, is examined to look for the points of attachment of the network, which will become the tension points, inducing the forces that will shape the network. The points constitute a spatial matrix that the artist will use for the installation.

8_The search takes place through a real-time action, the outcome of which is not certain beforehand, but only after the action itself has occurred. In this sense, the action that generates the installation is site specific and time specific, in that it depends on a given time and place.

9_ As a consequence of the above, the installation is unexpected and unpredictable, at least as far as its final shape and details are concerned, and it is however always exposed to external agents such as light, sun, wind, rain and also human action and interaction that can and must intervene to change its shape over time.

10_The installation always has its double in the shadow of the net, which is projected onto the surrounding surfaces by natural and artificial light.
