Daolio studied at the DAMS Discipline delle Arti, della Musica e dello Spettacolo at the University of Bologna in the 1970s , where he completed the Discipline delle Arti, della Musica e dello Spettacolo course at the faculty . After completing his studies, he worked as a professor until 2012 and taught cultural anthropology at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna . As a so-called talent scout, he discovered and supported numerous art students before they entered the art market.
Since the 1980s, Daolio worked with the Neon Gallery in Bologna, headed by Gino Giannuizzi, which made a significant contribution to the establishment of young artists. One of the first solo exhibitions he curated at the Neon Gallery was not from a student, but from Maurizio Cattelan , who, after sending out 1,000 of his catalogs, received only one offer for a group exhibition in Bologna. In 1980 Daolio helped found the Nuovi Nuovi artist group . In the 1980s and 1990s, Daolio became one of the most important people in the artistic scene in Bologna, which was very active at the time. Subsequently, he curated numerous national and international exhibitions, among others in collaboration with MoMA PS1 , Biennale di Venezia , Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin , Fondazione Antonio Ratti in Como , Via Farini and Careof in Milan . As a writer, he wrote regularly for the art magazine Flash Art .
Performance and art in public space
From 1977 to 1982 Daolio curated together with Renato Barilli and Francesca Alinovi the International Weeks of Performance (Italian: Settimane Internazionali della Performance) held in the then Museum of Modern Art in Bologna and generally referred to as "scandalous" , where Marina Abramović & Ulay 1977 performed their famous performance "mponderabilia".
From 1997 to 2005 he and his colleague Mili Romano organized the event Accademia in Stazione every year , which gave students the opportunity to commemorate the act of terrorism of 1980 at Bologna Central Station on August 2nd with performative art and art in public space . The close collaboration with Mili Romano continued until 2013.
From 2003 to 2007 Daolio organized the art project in public space “ad'a. area d'azione ”in the Rocca Sforzesca Castle in Imola , where young and established artists presented contemporary art in the form of performances, installations, sound and video works in the historical architecture of the fortress.
His last project / little constellation / , on which he has worked for the last few years, is an international network for contemporary art, which was set up to support regional artist groups and small states in Europe with supraregional research and the development of their own contemporary art directions and their dissemination facilitate.
Roberto Daolio died on June 29, 2013 near Bologna after a long illness.
Art awards
After the murder of the 35-year-old colleague, curator, art critic and university researcher Francesca Alinovi in 1983, the Alinovi Art Prize was brought to life by Daolio and Barilli . After Daolio's death, the art prize was renamed Alinovi Daolio.
In 2015, at the request of the brother and partner of Roberto Daolio, the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna, together with the network / little constellation / of the Republic of San Marino, held the Roberto Daolio art prize for art in public space called Plutôt la vie … Plutôt la ville , which is awarded annually to art students at the academy. The name comes from a project in collaboration with the Neon Gallery in 2000, in which Roberto Daolio and Mili Romano held a one-month workshop with numerous students from Bologna in Paris.
