Biography:
Daniele Buetti is a Swiss visual artist born in Fribourg, Switzerland in 1955. He works in several modes including installation and intervention, using media such as photography, sculpture, drawing, sound, video, and digital forms. As a professor at the University of Fine Arts Munster since 2004, he has been teaching and living in Zurich, Switzerland and Münster, Germany.
Buetti's work has been described as an expression of world-weariness and the individual's precarious existential orientation. In the 1990s, his work served as visual critiques of the consumption of beauty, often appropriating images of models and high-fashion consumer products from magazines and piercing them with a ballpoint pen. A monograph on his work, Daniele Buetti: it's all in the mind, was published in 2014 by Hirmer Publishers.
Buetti's work has been widely exhibited nationally and internationally in museums and galleries including the Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt and the Kunsthaus Wien. His work was the subject of a one-person show, Could a dream be enough, at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sophia. He has also exhibited his work at the Helmhaus Zurich, where his installation, Auf allen Knien (On All Knees) was presented.
As a renowned artist, Daniele Buetti's work continues to be exhibited and collected by museums and galleries around the world. His unique blend of installation, intervention, and digital forms has made him a prominent figure in the contemporary art scene. With his work being widely recognized and appreciated, Buetti remains an important figure in the art world, and his contributions continue to inspire new generations of artists. https://Wikioo.org/Art.nsf/O/A@D3CM5Z
