The artist and graduate architect MONICA BONVICINI (born in Venice in 1965) lives and works in Berlin. She is best-known for large-scale installations and sculptural pieces that explore architecture, the built environment and their relationships to gender. Her work addresses a critical reading to the values inherent in Western tradition, revealing the ways that ideas about sexuality and gender infuse every building block of our constructions.

Her small spray paintings – exhibited at Max Hetzler galerie during her show “Bet Your Sweet Life” in 2010 – bear words in the form of chain marks and are linked to the psychological and spatial relationship between the sexes. Fragile, yet decked out in punk culture’s aesthetic, the words are less comforting than the promised effect they imply.
