Marco Brambilla is a Milan-born New York based video artist whose work has been exhibited in major private and public collections including the Guggenheim Museum, the San Francisco Museum Museum of Modern Art, and the New Museum of Contemporary art.
Brambilla’s latest work produced through Stink is the stunning video collage, Power, commissioned by Kanye West, which has so far attracted over 12 million online views. Editorially the piece has garnered coverage from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Creativity, shots and arts titles Juxtapoz and Art Daily.
Previous projects include the 2009 Standard Hotel installation Civilization, a powerful contemporary interpretation of Dante’s Inferno balancing reflections on mass culture and Hollywood film with classical art historical references. His 2008 installation, Cathedral was showcased during the Toronto international film festival. In 2007, his work on Destricted was screened at the Cannes and Sundance Film Festivals. In 2009 he was commissioned to create video works for Sixth Sense parfums and Muse magazine.
Brambilla, represented by Christopher Grimes Gallery of Los Angeles, is currently working on a new video installation entitled Evolution, a large-scale video collage expanding on the technique developed for Civilization. This major work will form part of his first retrospective to be held at the Santa Monica Museum of Art in early 2011 for which he is also creating several new video pieces.
