Elisa Capucci (b.28\12\1998) is an Italian artist who currently lives and works in Copenhagen.
She completed the BA Sculpture programme at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna in 2021 to therefore start the MA Program at the same Academy.
In 2022, She co-founded the Bologna-based initiative ‘HIDDEN GARAGE’, a location devoted to autonomous and independent curation, creative inquiry, and the exposure of up-and-coming artists.
Throughout 2023 and 2024 the artist lived in London, working for a British artist Michael Dean as a studio assistant and attending the UAL MA-Fine Arts course at Chelsea College of Arts.
She is currently pursuing and expanding her research from theoretical, experimental, practical, and installation viewpoints.
Elisa’s work investigates the problem of space as a body – container and how to exploit it. In the studio, space is explored through Elisa’s own sculptural practice up to a more theoretical study on Neo- materialism and nowdays’ terrestrial superstructures, built for human hyper- convenience. The artist response is to narrate her surroundings using a personal filter, sculpting the consequences linked to the fusion between organic beings and our industrialization.
A particular interest is also dedicated to words and language, especially to the ‘new’ parlance we need to explain our era. Elisa is therefore currently working on her personal latest research based on Sculpture as a Neo-materialistic tool to understand our world and its socio-economic forces.
