Marcello Maloberti is a visual artist based in Milan. Subtle aspects of marginalized urban experience inspire his practice, and he pays particular attention to the shapelessness and uncertainty of daily life. His artistic vision goes beyond the immediacy of the everyday and offers a neorealist glance, dreamlike and alienating, that combines an archaeological approach toward art history. His performances and installations, situated in both private and public spaces, have a strong dramatic impact that always encourages audience interaction, generating brief narratives and distinct emotional spaces. The performing body becomes that of the community. In recent years Maloberti has given greater emphasis to the duality of art and life by means of a variety of visual and sound-based languages; photography, video, performance, installation, sculpture, and collage are always enriched by a strong performative dimension. He is professor of Visual Art at NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti) in Milan, Italy. 

Maloberti has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions at public and private institutions, including: Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover (2021); MAXXI – Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, Rome (2019); Haus Wittgenstein–Bulgarisches Kulturinstitut, Vienna (2019); Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato (2000, 2018, 2020); Manifesta12 (M12); MOCAK – Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakov (2017): Biennale di Pune, India (2017); Quadriennale di Roma (2016); Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Rivoli (TO) (2014); Padiglione Italia 55a Biennale di Venezia (2013); Thessaloniki Biennale, (2013); MACRO – Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Roma (2012); Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt (2012); Triennale Milano (2012, 2015); Generali Foundation, Vienna (2010); Royal Academy of Arts, London (2010); GAMeC − Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Bergamo (2009); PERFORMA 09, New York, (2009) (2005); MUSEION – Museo d’arte contemporanea di Bolzano (2005); Collection Lambert – Musée d’art contemporain Avignon (2005); Palazzo Strozzi, Florence (2005); PAC – Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea, Milan (2003); Premio FURLA, Venice (2002); Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Venice (2002), SESC Pompeia, São Paulo, Brazil (2001).
