Angelucci Sara
Sara Angelucci è un’artista che si occupa di fotografia e video residente a Toronto. Ha conseguito il diploma di laurea presso l’University of Guelph e la laurea presso il Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Nel suo lavoro adopera tanto materiali d’archivio quanto un nuovo immaginario, in un’esplorazione del ruolo che un luogo ha nel formare l’identità. In vari progetti la Angelucci ha esplorato gli stili e le convenzioni dell’immaginario popolare come mezzo di comprensione dei nostri desideri e valori collettivi. In una serie recente, dal titolo Regular 8, sono state ricreate delle scene ispirate dai film degli anni Cinquanta, sottolineandone gli scenari tipici e soffermandosi sui momenti ironici, rivelando la costruzione dei ruoli famigliari.
Le sue opere hanno fatto il giro del Canada apparendo in svariate mostre tra cui presso il Le Mois de la Photo a Montreal, Vu a Quebec City, il Toronto Photographer’s Workshop, il McLaren Art Center, l’Art Gallery of Hamilton, la Richmond Art Gallery e la St. Mary’s University Art Gallery di Halifax. I suoi video sono stati visti in Canada e in cari festival in Europa, Hong Kong e Australia. Sara ha partecipato a programmi di residency presso il NSCAD (Halifax), il Banff Centre e il Biz-Art a Shanghai in Cina.
Dal 1998 al 2008, Sara Angelucci è stata Direttrice presso il Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography. Ha insegnato fotografia in svariate università fino alla Ryerson University dove tiene oggi le sue lezioni. Le sue opere fanno parte di svariate collezioni private in Canada e negli Stati Uniti e delle collezioni di: Trinity College, University of Toronto, the National Portrait Gallery, the Museum of Civilization, Macdonald Stewart Art Centre, University of Toronto Library, the Art Gallery of Hamilton.
