Paolo Tarsi

Paolo Tarsi has participated in performances and installations at contemporary art museums and galleries such as MAXXI (Rome), MUSMA (Matera), and the Visual Arts Centre 'Pescheria' (Pesaro). Specializing in composition under Oscar winner Luis Bacalov, he plays with guitarist Paolo Tofani in the AREA Open Project and has worked with musicians from the current electronic, jazz, and rock scenes. His musicological studies have appeared in specialized journals and focus particularly on the music of the second half of the twentieth century, the relationships between music and other art forms, and the influence of avant-garde movements on pop languages. He writes for “Il Giornale della Musica,” "Alfabeta2," and “Artribune.” Since 2010, he has been part of the Argo group, with which he publishes a series of collective novels (over time, personalities such as Edoardo Sanguineti, Marina Abramović, Wu Ming, Michela Murgia, Erri De Luca, Aldo Nove, Paolo Nori, Antonio Rezza, and Flavia Mastrella have collaborated with Argo). In 2015, he published for Trovarobato Parade "Dream in a landscape" - dedicated to John Cage and Marcel Duchamp - in collaboration with the electronic duo Fauve! Gegen A Rhino (with whom he was a guest at the 2015 edition of the roBOt Festival in Bologna) and the album "Furniture Music For New Primitives," which included musicians from groups such as Area - International POPular Group, Calibro 35, Junkfood, Afterhours, Le luci della centrale elettrica, and others.
