I Have No Right Sculpture

Lanfranco Aceti is an internationally acclaimed artist, curator, and scholar whose work navigates the tensions between contemporary society, identity, and digital culture. His art—featured at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and Thessaloniki Biennale—transforms complex sociopolitical themes into visually striking, thought-provoking pieces. Known for his unique blend of photography, sculpture, and conceptual art, Aceti’s work challenges conventions while offering collectors timeless conversation pieces that merge historical reflection with modern narratives. His limited-edition pieces are highly sought after by collectors, curators, and institutions alike. Born in 1967 in Cassino, Italy, a town that was completely destroyed during World War II in 1944 and subsequently rebuilt without its original architectural heritage, Aceti grew up amidst a landscape devoid of historical structures. This environment fostered in him a profound understanding of the complexities of politics, power, and resilience. Cassino's transformation from an idyllic agricultural community to an industrial hub plagued by carcinogenic pollution exposed him to the harsh realities of environmental degradation and economic decline. Since 2000, the town has faced ongoing industrial crises, and with each return from his travels, Aceti witnesses further deterioration. These experiences deeply influence his artistic exploration of memory, societal transformation, and political violence, themes that are central to his work.
