Roberto Cuoghi

• Italian artist Roberto Cuoghi, born 1973 in Modena, Italy is known for his unique creations and use of unconventional media. He once grew out his finger nails for eleven months. amoung other phyisical modifications he onced changed from his punk style to the equivalent of a middle aged man, by gaining weight, loosing his piercing and following in his dad's daily activities. 
• At the Biennale Cuoghi presented a monumental sculpture called belinda, meant to represent Unseen protein chains. I thought that his use of showing natures building block as a sculpture in large scale was rather ingenious, showing how complicated even the simplest particles of life really are.
