Lina Fucà

Lina Fucà (Turin, 1972)

After attending art high school, she enrolled at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Torino, where she graduated in painting. During the same years, she began performing with the theatre group Il Barrito degli Angeli. This experience further developed the artist’s inclination to engage her figurative practice in dialogue with other forms of expression, including theatre, cinema, and video. The natural evolution of this dynamic led her to work in set and costume design with numerous independent theatre and film productions. In recent years, the interaction between different languages and forms of expression has become a defining feature of her practice, which begins above all with a reflection on the perception of the self in relation to the perception of “others.”In 2013, she took part in Meteorite in giardino at Fondazione Merz in Turin. In 2016, she held her first solo exhibition at Galleria Giorgio Persano. In the summer of the same year, Fondazione Merz invited Lina Fucà to undertake an artistic residency in Cuba. More recently, the artist held a solo exhibition at the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Madrid (2017) and presented the exhibition Solo da bambini (2019) at Fondazione Merz in Turin. In the same year, she participated in the project Intermezzo 2019 in Palermo, a video art programme curated by Agata Polizzi for Fondazione Sicilia. In 2021, she presented her work in two solo exhibitions, at the Sala delle Carceri of Castel dell’Ovo in Naples and at CARME in Brescia. In 2022, she participated in the group exhibition Tracce/Huellas – Arte Italiana. Opere dalla Galleria Giorgio Persano 1970–2021 at the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Madrid. In 2023, she exhibited the video work Didikidim as part of Spazio Portici – Videoarte – Where the world ends. In 2026, she participated in the group exhibition ELLAS, curated by Oliva Arauna at Torre del Don Borja.
