Giada Tagliamonte is a working artist and curator currently based in Belfast.
Her work addresses relationships between shared spaces, customs and stereotypes. Heavily influenced by Western and Eastern classical aesthetics, Giada's work merges painting, performance and animation into immersive metaphysical landscapes fluctuant in a limbo of nowhere and everywhere, no-one and everyone, now and never.
Tagliamonte's work has appeared internationally in galleries, festivals and public events including Contemporary Visions Video Art Biennale, Urban Design Festival (Toride, Japan), Institute of Contemporary Art Singapore, 251 D-Park (Beijing, China), Center of Contemporary Art Seattle, Sartoria Bassani (Milano, Italy).
Her practice as a curator focuses on bringing the art world into the public realm without diluting its impact or significance.
Bridging disciplines and industries is a key feature of her curatorial practice seeing her collaborating and partnering with multiple NGOs and public bodies across the world ranging from Singapore to Hong Kong, Italy, the Netherlands and USA.
Giada Tagliamonte graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, cum Lauda in 2008, received her Master of Art Fine Arts from LASALLE College of the Arts in partnership with Goldsmiths University of London, in 2015. Born in Italy, she has spent her life living between Hong Kong, Seattle, Singapore, Amsterdam, Nuremberg and is currently based in Belfast with her family.
