| Zannier Alessandro |
| |
|
Born in Treviso, Italy, in 1971, he lives in Zurich
and Treviso.

| |
| About the Artist |
Zannier is a young original Italian artist who
applies his creativity to a wide range of fields from
electronic pop music to visual arts.
He has mainly commited himself to musical composition
and record production and he is also a well known
frontman of his musical project “Ottodix” for which he
creates all the artworks, web site and videoclips.
Trained as a visual artist, in the last few years he
has been working full time on different art projects
merging an expressionist aesthetics with
conceptualist works reflecting the anxiety of our
contemporary society.
The hibrid form of expression between feelings and
mechanics, science, conscience and science fiction
which characterizes his “assemblages” derives from
Duchamp’s “machine celibataire” forming a new
multimediatic world of metaphoric forms.

| Education and biography |
Born in Treviso, Italy, on 07/08/71, Zannier obtained
an arts high school diploma in 1990, then a diploma in
painting from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice in
1996. From '91 to '94, under the guidance of Ennio
Finzi, a well-known exponent of Italian optical art,
he developed a personal artistic research project
which involved sculpture and pictorial assembly and
was shown in Mestre (Venice) in November '93 at the
Einaudi gallery as part of a group exhibition, Palco
Latino. From this period onward he put intensive
efforts into music with the group OTTODIX which has
won numerous national awards and has released the
albums CORPOMACCHINA and NERO.
Musical work included two theatre projects
together with the director Vincenzo Tripodo.
In the first, Tangos, in 1997 written by
Tripodo and Zannier, he oversaw the scenography, the
music and the choreography, as well as acting as
assistant director, while in the second, Murder
Ballads, he worked
mostly as co-author.
Zannier again exhibited new work in January 2000 in
Treviso (Ca' dei Ricchi) and then in Spring made ALTER
EGO, two solo shows in Hungary, in Pécs and Paks,
where he met the artist Halàsz Kàroly and Orsolya
Kovàcs, an art critic and historian. In September of
the same year he had a solo exhibition of drawings and
graphics work entitled NOTES at the central Italian
Post Office building in Treviso. 2001 saw Zannier
involved full-time as author and composer for the new
and most important music project with OTTODIX. In 2002
he oversaw the artistic production, the cover, the
photo sets and the official site for the new album
CORPOMACCHINA. 2003: the sculptures, assemblies and
digitally reprocessed photographic material for the CD
are included in NEWTON PROJECT, a travelling
exhibition-concert. His musical output is coherently
matched by his digital output on the site
www.ottodix.it, which was entirely conceived and
authored by Zannier as a kind of meeting point between
his artistic and musical careers.
In 2004 his FEAR PROJECT, a multiple assembly on the
origins and development of fear in ancient and modern
man, received excellent references from Achille Bonito
Oliva and Giulio Alessandri. He was also mentioned by
Alessandro Nigro as a follow-up in contemporary art of
Marcel Duchamp’s works.
Zannier was in charge of the arrangements for a
musical show of the Italian singer Garbo, who he also
toured with in 2006 . The same year Zannier realized
his video clip “Ossessione” between Rome and New
York. He has been elected "Best Artist of June" from
G.A.I. (Italian Young Artists site)
In 2007 he has attended to the realisation of
costumes, scenes, animation and editing for the
“Cuore/Coscienza” video clip, a tribute to the
avant-garde art movements on a track from his NERO
album. His work “Coltura umana in vitro” has been
included in the Rizzoli “13x17” catalogue, edited by
Philippe Daverio and Jean Blanchaert. Currently he
lives between Treviso and Zurig, where he is working
at a multi-media theatre project related to the
release of his new album. The show, as well as the
album, are due to be available in 2008. The “I-MAN”
piece of art, presented at the Florence Biennale, is a
manifesto for the whole project, to do with loss of
personality and fall of ethics in the Internet era.
