Giulio Alvigini (Tortona, 1995) says he is an artist. He is obsessed with the art system and spends much of his time making memes about contemporary art that he then publishes on the IG page @makeitalianartgreatagain. In 2020 he published his “Manual for young artists (simple Italians)” for the publishing house Postmedia Books, distributed mostly among the circle of friends and family. Despite this, he has exhibited in galleries, institutional spaces, independent spaces and held conferences in various Italian museums and cultural institutions including: the second edition of the Kosovo Biennial in 2019; the MAMbo and Cirulli Foundation in Bologna; IULM University, Brera Academy of Fine Arts and BienNoLo in Milan; Albertina Academy of Fine Arts and IAAD in Turin; Academy of Fine Arts in Novara; Ligustica Academy of Fine Arts in Genoa; Palazzo Esposizioni Bookshop in Rome; TEDx in Belluno. He lives and works between Turin, Milan and Genoa (that is, halfway between the three).
