Curriculum Cristina Pavesi Born and lives in Milan, Italy, on 1966 cripave@fastwebnet.it     objective   In my work I use the games and the forms taken from the world of childhood, but the contents linked to the adult world that, in this way, becomes ridiculous. I use everyday objects which I reinterpret to fight against the conditioning of other situations. My works are index fingers pointed at the politically correct world of adult people in order to debunk it ; but I fully achieve my aim only if the ironic thought can be transformed into critical sense.   work experience   PERSONAL EXHIBITIONS   2004 The First World, Maria Cilena Gallery, Milan, Italy 2001 Goodnight, Vanna Casati Gallery, Bergamo, Italy 1999 Cinderella, Fabia Calvasina Gallery, Milan, Italy 1998 Pickled Fish, Text by Alessandra Pioselli, Vanna Casati Gallery, Bergamo, Italy 1997 Personal, Severgnini Gallery, Cernusco sul Naviglio,Milan, Italy     ART EXHIBITIONS   2009 59 seconds, ArcheTime Exhibition and Conference, New York In itinere, Guicciardini Art space, Milan, Italy 2008 MaioneseXI, care of Elena Privitera, Ass. culturale En Plain Air, Pinerolo,Tourin, Italy Bang bang care of Steve Piccolo, UnDo.Net, Spazio Oberdan,Milan, Italy 59 seconds Video Festival, care of Irina Danilova, Petronas gallery, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
