Biography
Nico Vascellari was born in 1976, in Vittorio Veneto (Treviso, IT). He left the university in order to focus on his singing for his punk/noise band "With Love". This performative experience was the starting points for his artistic research. He expresses himself by using different media such as installation and photography, audio and video. His performances have been defined as "storms of feedback between performer, audience and environment". With one of his latest projects , "Nico & The Vascellaris", he was recently awarded with The First International Prize for Performance by a jury presided by Marina Abramovic
