The Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève presents Refaire le Portrait, Acte #1, the first of the two exhibitions that Alfredo Aceto, artist in residence will propose during his stay in the institution, between January and May.

In his practice, Aceto questions the notions of time, of personal mythology and his own past. His work is marked by the different personalities which he has encountered and involved in his projects, such as Paola Pivi, Roberto Cuoghi and Stephanie Moisdon. For example, his first artistic intervention came about when he asked French artist Sophie Calle – for whom he had a deep obsession – to tattoo her signature on his arm, thus making him part of her work.
