About the speaker

Ëndri Dani was born in 1987 in Shkodra, Albania. He lives and works as an artist and graphic designer in Tirana. His educational background as a painter permeates his photographs and installations overwhelming the techniques over a number of different mediums (found objects, artefacts of ordinary life, cultural history, souvenirs, etc.). Without any kind of complaints, his research mostly deals with the condition of being an Albanian artist in his land, an issue that concerns quite everybody who lives Albania.
His works has been shown in a number of independent and institutional exhibition spaces:
National Art Gallery, Tirana (Albania), Israel Yang Biennal, Jerusalem (Israel), Stockholm Independent Art Fair (Sweden), Marrakech Biennale 5 (Marrakech), FONDAZIONE PINO PASCALI (Italy), Zeta Galery, Tirana (Albania), Miza (Albania), NURTUREart, (New York - USA), Mixed Greens, (New York - USA), INVISIBLE-EXPORTS, (New York - USA), UnionDocs, (New York - USA), National Museum of Montenegro “Miodrag Dado Duric” (Montenegro), Cetinje, Rijeka – Muzej Moderne I Suvremene (Croazia), Magazzino del Sale (Italy), Bienal Fin Del Mondo (Argentina, Chili, Uruguai)...

Additional details

For “Creative Morning” speech about “Palimpsests Series”, a multilayered collection of traces – a palimpsest – rather than a continuous, linear plotline. Our experiences, our histories, memories…identities, are narratives that do not remain static but are changed or covered by other narratives. Exposing the strata of traces, that is, thinking about and looking at our world as a palimpsest, is a necessary reaction of those who question the “stratum” of the present, revolted as they might be by kitsch, tired of dreaming unrealizable dreams, as the global arrests all whispers of local expressions.
