Edoardo Landi Italian, b. 1937

Overview

After his studies in industrial design at high school, and having obtained a degree in architecture from Venice University, Eduardo Landi (b. 1937 Modena, Italy) joined 'Gruppo N' with which he had in common a passion for provocation and for opposition to the art market system. He took part in the exhibitions “Nessuno è invitato a intervenire” in 1960 and in 1962 in “Arte Programmata” at the Olivetti shop in Milan; in 1961 became part of Nouvelles Tendences. 

 

After the dissolution of 'Gruppo N' in 1965, the result of the difficulty in selling works signed by the whole group, he founded 'Enne 65 Group', together with Manfredo Massironi and Alberto Biasi. Dating from this period are his multi-sensorial and immersive works, the interpretation of which varies according the spatial relationship with the viewer.
