SHORT BIO & STATEMENT
Iva Lulashi (1988) was born in Tirana, Albania. She lives and works between Pordenone and Venice. In 2016 she graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. Her work starts from traces found, scene photos or frames that reflect the visual language of an Albanian story, which has never been consciously lived where it begins to incorporate erotic movies, confusing the border between the communist propaganda stills in the movies, scenes of sex, and healthy outdoor activities. Iva is part of the collective Malutta Foundation with which she has taken part in various projects such as the Malutta Black Market Foundation, Monitor Gallery in Rome, Malutta Meets the Albanian Pavilion Foundation, workshop, Venice Biennale and Rob Pruitt’s flea market, AplusA Gallery in Venice. She has participated in workshops in Venice (Forte Marghera), Bruges (Het Entrepot), Salzburg (Nata Wien) and Shkoder (Arthouse). Iva has exhibited her works in various spaces such as: Galeria kombtare e arteve (Tirana), Villa Brandolini (Treviso), Giovanni Fattori Museum (Livorno), Sincresis Arte Gallery (Empoli), Villa Rondinelli, Porcinai Archive (Fiesole), Miza Gallery (Tirana), Ca ‘dei Carraresi (Treviso).
