Analize Nicolini operates at the intersection of art, curatorship, and criticism through a practice grounded in research that engages with language, image, the body, and the politics of representation in contemporary art. Her work emerges from the friction between creation and thought, text and gesture, exhibition and listening — with particular attention to institutional silences and symbolic erasures.
As an intersex artist and curator, Nicolini proposes a critical displacement of dominant perspectives: questioning how bodies and images are authorised, shaped, or excluded by curatorial and institutional systems.
Her projects are not limited to exhibitions or artworks; they aim to intervene in the ways we see and narrate. She works with artists, institutions, collectives, brands and organisations through curatorship, research, education, artistic creation, and the development of projects for public funding, cultural incentive laws and institutional programmes.
Her critical repertoire has been built over years of research and international mobility, with consistent presence at the Venice Biennale (2019, 2022, 2024), Documenta 15 (2022), and ongoing visits to museums, art fairs, and galleries across Europe, the United States, Japan and South America. This expanded field of listening informs her ability to operate with international standards and locally grounded engagement.
Curatorial Research and Institutional Critique
Critical investigations into systems of representation, institutional erasure, and curatorial discourses centred on identity, dissidence, and the body. Her research unfolds through field observation, essays, curatorial gestures and exhibition projects — with a focus on intersex absence and South American visibility in global art contexts.
Curatorship and Critical Writing
Design of curatorial frameworks, selection of works and artists, critical and institutional writing, editorial organisation and conceptual guidance. Curating is approached as a space for listening, tension, and transformation — a method of thinking with, rather than framing.
Artistic Project Development
Collaborations with artists and collectives in the development of projects that require critical guidance, curatorial presence, or institutional articulation. Occasional representation in specific contexts, with emphasis on coherence, process, and discursive consistency.
Education and Public Programmes
Design and facilitation of courses, workshops, and learning experiences in contemporary art, curating and criticism. Her educational proposals respond to the present: symbolic urgencies, structural silences, and the potential relationships between artworks, publics and contexts.
Cultural Project Development
Conceptualisation and development of curatorial, artistic, and educational projects for public funding calls, cultural incentive laws (municipal, state, federal) and private institutional programmes. Proposals are structured with a critical framework and tailored to museums, cultural centres, foundations, and corporate initiatives with an interest in culture, education and symbolic impact.
Commissioned Works
Creation of original artworks in photography, video, sound, installation, neon and hybrid media. Each commission is an expanded listening process — a gesture of elaboration, displacement and situated presence.
