Nico Angiuli is a visual artist, performer and film director. From 2017 now on, is external visiting professor of Performing Arts at the Fine Arts Academy of Bari in Italy. Since 2006 has collaborated with Stalker group, Osservatorio Nomade project, and Ilmotorediricerca cultural association on trans-border research and projects between Italy, Albania, Spain, and Greece. In 2011 he starts a series of sculptures, photos and performances titled Incarnatio Duabus Rotis Rotatis, based on the personal sketchbooks of the Arte Povera artist Pino Pascali.
Since 2009, Angiuli is working on labor related issues and research, involving farmers, dancers, philosophers, scientists, and students; and developing several projects as Ma Vai a Lavorare! (performance; Venice, 2009); The Tiles Are Intentions (collective performance; Venice, 2010); The Tools' Dance (videoarchive of agricultural gestures; 2010-2017, IT/ AL/ ESP), also presented as collective performance at Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, produced by CareOf and curated by Martina Angelotti (60', 2017).
In 2015, he realized Tre Titoli, an experimental movie realized in southern Italy, in the homeland of Giuseppe Di Vittiorio (founding father of the Italian trade union CGIL); where the memory of peasant struggles and new forms of enslavery are linked in the wake of post-Latifundism and profit. The film has been shown among other at 16th Rome Quadriennale and the 2nd Kyiv Biennale.
In 2019, he has been granted with the 3rd edition of the Italian Art Council Prize, for the realizing of The Human Tools: a movie which relates ancient and modern forms of slavery to artificial intelligence and robots. Then Angiuli has been invited in Athens in the 2021, by the Onassis STEGI Foundation to work on his new project Amazon Dance (videoperformance, 60'), as winner of the EMAP-European Media Art Platform Prize.
He has been also granted by the Italian Ministry of Culture to realize Vacanze Intelligenti (video VR,17') where he brought a gondola in the industrial area of Venice. The project has been presented also at the IIC Italian Istitute of Culture in Hamburg, from Febraury to April 2022. Another project prized by the italian government in the 2022 is Part-Time Resistance: a performative research on the private forms of sabotage and resistance; that would continue in the 2023/ 2024 investigating the use of the seeds to protect communities and agricultural ancients practices.
Trought 2023 has also develop the first step of Pfandstrasse at ZK/U Center for Art and Urbanism in Berlin, the project aims to raise awareness among the bottle and cans collectors; the second phase consists of a docufilm to be realized during the 2024/2025.

His works and researches have been exhibited abroad, including: 16th Rome Quadriennale; 2nd Biennal of Kiev; 2nd Athens Biennale; MaRT Museum in Rovereto, Italy; Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation, Turin; National Theatre of Tirana, Albania; BOZAR, Bruxelles; Manifesta 12, Palerm; Onassis STEGI Foundation, Athens; Cittadellarte Fondazione Pistoletto; NOoSPHERE Arts, New York; Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation, Venice; Dena Foundation, Paris.
