Davide mosconi (milano, 1941 – milano, 2002) was an italian painter, designer and musician. He studied at the music conservatory “giuseppe verdi”, in milan. In 1961, he moved to london where he studied photography at the london college of printing, then he moved to new york where he worked as assistant of richard avedon and hiro. From the artistic point of view, his debut was classified as anti-design. Collaborating with ugo la pietra and the global tools group (which he founded in 1974), he was close to the radical experimentation of the fluxus current of milano poesia (milan poetry). In 1968, he came back to milan where he exhibited with “il sogno di davide”. During the 1970’s, he founded studio x, a photography studio for fashion and advertising projects. In 1972, he exhibited with the short film “something to believe in” at the important exhibition “the new domestic landscape” realized at moma, new york. His works have been displayed in prestigious institutions and galleries all over the world, such as the national gallery in brussels, the i.c.a. In london, the guggenheim foundation in venice, the venice biennial, the rayburn foundation in new york, and galleria milano, among others. less
