Andrea Lissoni

Andrea Lissoni, PhD, is the Artistic Director of Haus der Kunst in Munich since 2020. Previously he was Senior Curator International Art (Film) at Tate Modern, London, and curator at HangarBicocca, Milan. At Tate he launched and co-curated new exhibition formats, the collection display and the live program at the opening in 2016. He curated Philippe Parreno’s Turbine Hall Commission 2016 and surveyed exhibitions of artists Joan Jonas and Bruce Nauman.
His research concerns liveness, cinematic aspects in time-based artworks, the perception of time and forms of transmitting, sharing and engaging in contemporary arts. He explores these through trans-disciplinary approaches focusing on artistic contexts across non-dominant cultures and subcultures, among which, music and sound in particular.
