Luigi Presicce was born in Porto Cesareo (Lecce) in 1976, and now lives and works in Florence. He attended the Accademia di Belle Arti in Lecce, deliberately choosing not to present his thesis. His work has been markedly influenced by his independent studies. In 2007 he attended the Higher Visual Arts Course (CSAV) at the Fondazione Antonio Ratti in Como with American artist Joan Jonas. In 2008, in the context of Artists in Residence, he took part in the workshop with American artist Kim Jones in Via Farini in Milan. In 2008 in Milan (together with Luca Francesconi and Valentina Suma) he founded Brownmagazine, soon followed by Brown Project Space for which he curated the scheduling and planning. In 2011 in Lecce, in conjunction with Giusy Checola and Salvatore Baldi, he founded "Archivazioni" (exercises in exploring and debating the contemporary south). In 2012 he took part in Artists in Residence at the MACRO in Rome, extending his invitation to another nine artists (Workshop). Since 2010, together with Luigi Negro, Emilio Fantin, Giancarlo Norese and Cesare Pietroiusti, he has been involved in a project known as Lu Cafausu which promotes The Festival of the Living (reflecting on death) and with which he was invited to AND AND AND in dOCUMENTA13 in Kassel. Since 2016 he has been a founder member of the Fondazione Lac o le Mon in San Cesario di Lecce. With Francesco Lauretta since 2017 he has been part of the Scuola di Santa Rosa, a free school of drawing based in Florence and Firenze e New York. He was selected for the 2018 Study Programme at the Artists Allianc inc. in New York and for the TAD Residency at the Monastero del Carmine in Bergamo, and in 2019 for Lacasapark, Gardiner, NY in 2019. He devised and curated a painting symposium in 2018 and 2019 at the Fondazione Lac o le Mon, a residence-cum-platform focusing on Italian painting of the last thirty years. In 2018 he curated Extemporanea–play at the Trebisonda Spazio per l’Arte Contemporanea in Perugia and Unique Shapes in the Continuity of Space at the Rizzuto Gallery in Palermo. while in 2019 he curated Enne Boi's Facciatosta Records at the Toast project space in Florence.
