ACADEMIC PROFILE
Stefano Romano (Naples, 1975) is an artist and curator. He completed a PhD in Architecture in the IDAUP program – double degree at the University of Ferrara (Italy) and Polis University (Albania). He is currently employed at Polis University (Tirana, Albania) where he is teaching at the Faculty of Art and Design. His artistic practice explores the deep contradictions of reality through architecture, urban and social contexts. His approach is based on the idea of the work as a spatio-temporal process that often needs the active participation of the viewer to be completed. The methodology of his work is developed through temporary actions, performances, installations, videos, photographs and drawings.
Romano has published in several national and international journals such as archiDOCT| open access journal for the dissemination of doctoral research in architecture, FORUM A+P – Interdisciplinary Journal of Architecture and Scientific Environment, OMB series. His artistic work has been exhibited internationally and he is currently also the artistic director of the galleries of the contemporary art center HARABEL in Tirana.
