BIO - Chiachio & Giannone
Leo Chiachio was born in 1969 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Daniel Giannone was born in 1964 in Córdoba, Argentina.
They met in 2003 and have been partners in both life and art ever since. After years of studying painting, they chose embroidery as a way to paint with needles and thread. They also work with printmaking, porcelain, and various textile techniques, collaborating with artists, artisans, and institutions.
Their work includes collective gatherings for embroidery, weaving, and drawing on donated fabrics, which are assembled into LGBTIQ+ pride flags. Through community-driven projects, they explore the construction of both collective and individual desire. Their artistic approach is a collaborative effort to rethink, through artistic discourse and strategies, how we create as a society.
They have held solo and group exhibitions, participated in international art fairs, and received accolades such as the award from the Cité Internationale de la Tapisserie d’Aubusson (France, 2013) and the Acquisition Award from the Presidency of the Nation at the 108th Salón Nacional de las Artes Visuales (Argentina, 2018). Their work has been exhibited in Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, and France.
They live and work in Buenos Aires.
EXHIBITION LOVE
Eyddos is not just a contemporary art project; it is a manifesto of radical love, transformation, and reconfiguration. In a world where art has become a commodity, this project embraces the challenge of being more than that—it is a political act, a profound desire for social, identity-based, and cultural transformation.
We believe in art as a praxis that shapes the present—an art that is not limited to aesthetics but engages in dialogue and is nourished by the LGTBIQ+, feminist, and anti-racist movements. These are not categories that arise by chance but exist at the intersection of social struggle, the questioning of the body, and resistance to globalization.
At Eyddos, people do not simply inhabit the works; they become part of a collective creation that transforms the personal into the political. The artwork is an open process, a loving gesture that redefines the norms of existence, supporting the identity of those who refuse to conform to what is given.
This desire for transformation becomes an amulet, a talisman against the homogenization of bodies and cultures, celebrating all forms of being and existing in the world. An Eyddos is, then, a second skin —one that does not conform to established standards but is instead a personal choice, upheld by a web of love.
