Corinne Mazzoli is a visual artist and researcher based in Venice.

For years, her artistic practice has made use of videos, photos, installations and performances and is focused on identity constructs and gender stereotypes in connection with the online representation of the female body.

In each of her projects, she has paid attention to socio-urban contexts as well as the dynamics that influence the development of community ties, seen as often mediated by deviant activities such as compulsive gambling or physical addictions to fitness. So, videos and performances like Tutorial #1: How to get a Thigh Gap and Tutorial #2: How to Cruise with a Bruise that examine how the female body is seen, displayed, and evaluated by the public were born. This viewpoint also gave rise to theoretical studies on the body, i.e. BATON SINISTER or How Subculture Could Forge Transversal Heroes based on the barebacking subculture or Building Mass, Mass, and more Mass, which links female bodybuilding and cross-dressing to discuss what “femininity” is.

In 2008 she obtained her BA at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, and in 2012 a MA in Visual Arts at the Iuav University of Venice. She is currently PhD Researcher at University of Milan-Bicocca investigating games and edu-larps as participatory practices of artistic fruition inside Museums.

Since 2019, she has been teaching Video Art for the Master of Fine Arts in Filmmaking at Ca’ Foscari, Venice.

Her projects have been presented at institutions including Fondazione Prada Milano; Italian Pavilion and Korean Pavilion of the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale 2021, Venice; Palazzo Grassi, Venice; MA*GA Museum, Gallarate; Careof, Milan (IT); Piran Coastal Galleries, Piran (SLO); NITJA Center for Contemporary Art (NO);

She is cofounder of AWI – Art Workers Italia, an autonomous and non-partisan association created with the aim of giving voice to contemporary art workers in Italy.
