Micol Assaël (b.1979, Rome, Italy), lives in Rome and Greece

Physical phenomena such as magnetism and electricity and the ways they are perceived physically as well as mentally are key elements in Micol Assaël’s art. Her installations, as radical as they are poetic, often place the viewer in a position of real or perceived danger. Solo exhibitions of her work have been organized by Kunsthalle Basel (2007), Palais de Tokyo (Paris, 2009), Secession (Vienna, 2009), Fridericianum (Kassel, 2009), MUSEION (Bolzano, 2010) and Hangar Bicocca (Milan, 2014). She took part in the Venice Biennale in 2003 and 2005 and the biennales of Moscow (2005), Berlin (2006) and Sydney (2008). The artist is represented by Johann Koenig (Berlin) and Galleria Zero (Milan).
