Lives and works between London, United Kingdom and Spoleto, Italy
Adelaide Cioni (1976, Bologna, IT) studied drawing at UCLA, Los Angeles, and has a BA in Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. With an MA in contemporary history and a master’s degree in Literary Translation, for ten years she translated American literature (John Cheever, Lydia Davis, David Foster Wallace, amongst others). In 2012 she finished the translation of Cheever’s journals and decided to quit translating literature, thereby she started her artistic practice.
The process of synthesis I apply to my works can be seen as another way I translate.
