KaneCali Studio
KANE CALÌ was born in Malta in 1983. An experimentalist with an acute fascination with the malleability of data, Calì has explored various media, most notably ceramics, glass and 3D printing. While allowing his tools to identify and capture content within both the landscape of the virtual and that of the real, his artistic practice mirrors humanity’s desire for advancement, while remaining firmly grounded in tangible, everyday surroundings. His artistic development reflects a personal interest in critical theory and contemporary political discourse.
With a studio based in Malta, Calì has presented work that is two and three dimensional, with a growing interest in public art. He completed an MA in Ceramics and Glass from the Royal College of Art and has since exhibited locally and in major international cities including Milan, London, Berlin, Copenhagen and Shanghai.
