Guido Molinari

Guido Molinari serves as Professor at Ababo's School of Fine Arts, teaching Psychology of Art across multiple disciplines including Painting, Graphic Art, Sculpture, and Art Education and Communication programs. He also teaches Psychosociology of Cultural Consumption within the Film and Audiovisual Languages curriculum. His office is located at Via Belle Arti 54, with office hours on Mondays and Tuesdays from 11:30-12:30, and additional availability at Villa Salina during the second semester by appointment.

Professor Molinari's academic background includes previous teaching positions at the European Institute of Design in Milan (visual communication and history of graphic design), ISIA in Florence and Faenza (design history), various Academies of Fine Arts (aesthetics and theory of perception), and the University of Bologna (art history through SSIS qualifying courses). He has also contributed to art publications including Flash Art Italia and International magazines.

His research focuses on the psychological dimensions of art reception, examining the emotional relationship between humans and artistic mediums through theoretical frameworks from McLuhan and contemporary art theorists. His work explores estrangement effects, displacement, and condensation in artistic expression, with particular attention to how these concepts manifest in contemporary art practices.

Professor Molinari's scholarly contribution The Effects of Estrangement in Contemporary Art serves as required course material across multiple art disciplines at Ababo, demonstrating the interdisciplinary application of psychological principles to artistic interpretation and creation.

His teaching methodology emphasizes mandatory attendance with flexible scheduling (students choose between Monday or Tuesday sessions), concluding with oral examinations that require students to analyze artistic works through the theoretical frameworks presented in course materials.
