Yuval Avital

Born in Jerusalem in 1977 and living in Milan, Yuval Avital’s artistic research investigates archetypes and structures, the ancestral and contemporary human condition, nature and hybridity, as well as ritual and science.
Both a polyhedric artist working with numerous mediums (paintings, photography, sculptures, sound installations, video art, performance) as a musical composer, Avital develops his works in a variety of spaces, including public venues, industrial archaeological sites, theaters, and museums. He challenges traditional, rigid categories that separate the arts.
In his exhibitions, art events, immersive installations, total operas, large-scale musical rituals, and concerts, one can find dancers, contemporary music ensembles, masters of ancient cultures, recruited individuals or communities, multi- video projections, meditative tactile environments, advanced technological instruments, archival materials, scientific data, sound sculptures, large-scale site-specific murals, and art films.
Avital’s artworks have been presented in more than 20 solo exhibitions and various group shows at museums, art foundations, venues, and international art events, such as the MANIFESTA Biennial (Marseille, France, 2021), Gwangju Biennale (Republic of Korea, 2023), Ostrale Dresden Biennale (Germany, 2019), LOOP Festival (Barcelona, Spain, 2021), MACRO – Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome (Rome, Italy, 2019), La Fabbrica del Cioccolato Foundation in Switzerland (2017), Marino Marini Museum (Florence, Italy, 2019), the National Museum of Science and Technology “Leonardo da Vinci” (Milan, Italy,2017), Teatro Regio (Parma,Italy, 2022), Chiostri di San Pietro (Reggio Emilia, Italy, 2022) and the Biscozzi | Rimbaud Foundation (Lecce, Italy, 2023).
