His works have been exhibited in art galleries, museums and trade fairs in numerous locations, including Milan, Paris, London, Miami, Beijing, Basel, Istanbul and New York, where he lived for three years. In 2006 he was appointed Art Director of the Milan Triennale, for the launch of the Bovisa Triennale and other contemporary art exhibitions.
