La sostanza agitata

Lulù Nuti (1988) lives between Rome and Paris. Expanding from sculpture and installation to drawing, Lulù Nuti’s practice is based on a strong belief in the intelligence of matter, in its power of being a vehicle for sensitive information, which go beyond the limits of words and language. Her work depicts the feeling of responsibility and powerlessness that are engendered by the age we live in and affect human beings. She experiments with various construction materials, creating sculptures and installations that dialogue with space.

After graduating from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts de Paris in 2012, Lulù Nuti has exhibited in Italy and abroad in public and private institutions including Biwako Biennale (Fairy Tale, Japan, 2012);  La Panacée (MFW, MO.CO., Montpellier, 2018); Istituto Italiano di Cultura in New Delhi (Living in the Chtulucene, India, 2019); Museo CAMUSAC (Rilevamenti 2, Cassino, 2020) and in private galleries including Galleria Alessandra Bonomo (Part 1, Rome, 2017); Galerie Italienne (La Musée, Paris, 2020); Galleria Renata Fabbri (SOTTO, Milano, 2022). In 2022 her sculpture Too much heat, nothing to eat travels around the world ( IIC New-York, USA; IIC Seoul, Corea; Changijang Museum of Contemporary Art, China ) with We Love Art, vision and creativity Made in Italy, a project promoted by Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and CDP, curated by Ludovico Pratesi and Marco Bassan.

Solo shows include the site-specific exhibition Sistema, at archeological site Case Romane del Celio (Rome, 2015) and Calcare il Mondo at Galerie Chloé Salgado (Paris, 2018). In 2018 she founded the artistic duo LU.PA together with Pamela Pintus, an artistic identity that operates through performance actions and site-specific works.
