Simone Menegoi (b. 1970) is a contemporary art professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna, teaching Philosophy of Art since 2021, and serves as Artistic Director of Arte Fiera Bologna since 2019. His academic role integrates with extensive curatorial practice across European institutions including Nouveau Musée National de Monaco, David Roberts Art Foundation London, and Triennale di Milano.
His research investigates critical intersections between sculpture and adjacent media, exemplified by the exhibition cycle The Camera's Blind Spot (MAN Nuoro 2013, Extra City Kunsthal Antwerp 2015, Palazzo De' Toschi Bologna 2016) and Le statue calda. Scultura - corpo - azione, 1945 - 2013 at Florence's Museo Marino Marini. This work bridges theoretical frameworks in art philosophy with material practices across performance, photography, and sound installations.
Professor Menegoi maintains structured student engagement through Monday office hours (6:00-7:00 PM by appointment) at T2 Fine Arts Street, emphasizing continuous availability throughout course durations. His professional trajectory includes editorial roles at Mousse (2006-2008) and Kaleidoscope (2009-2012), plus contributions to Artforum (2011-2018), alongside commissioned writings for European cultural institutions.
