Galleria Raffaella Cortese
2019–2023 • File under: Contemporary Art
As Visual Designer & Communications Specialist with Galleria Raffaella Cortese—a leading contemporary art gallery in Milan—I was responsible for maintaining the gallery’s visual identity, producing digital content for social media and newsletters, shooting and editing exhibition videos, designing print and digital advertisements, as well as conceptualizing, researching, and designing online viewing rooms. As the principal figure creating visuals at the gallery, I also oversaw the production of PDF presentations of available works, in-depth dossiers, and artist portfolios, as well as renders of booth proposals for art fair applications and exhibition projects.
Selected projects include Nazgol Ansarinia – Pools and Voids, an online viewing room featuring two brief videos I edited about the Iranian artist’s studio and recent research; Jitka Hanzlová – Architectures of Life, a digital presentation featuring an hour‑long video conversation between the Czech artist and curator Urs Stahel I edited; conceptualizing, researching and preparing materials for the Focus On: Monica Bonvicini and Focus On: Luisa Lambri viewing rooms; shooting and editing footage as well as animating text, graphics, and artworks for the Franco Vimercati – Un minuto di fotografia exhibition video.
On the occasion of the Frieze New York Online Viewing Room (May 8–15, 2020), I produced a high-quality rendering of the exhibition project originally planned for the in-person event, a fair booth featuring works by Silvia Bächli and Luisa Lambri.
