Since 2008, she has been working with Arte Boccanera Contemporanea gallery in Trento, where she has made her debut with “Numerabilis”.
The work of Valentina Miorandi fits in the wider contemporary multi-media context, according to a careful selection process and management of the images which did not pass unnoticed: Pagine Bianche d’Autore 2009, Videominuto 2009, Festival of Videoracconto 2009, Fondazionne Pistoletto Talent Prize 2010, and the first prize of the Milano Film Festival section FAI 2010. In 2008 she founded with Micol Cossali CAM with whom has curated several multimedia exhibitions held within institutional museums (Foundation Historical Museum of Trentino, MAG Museum, Kultural Bersntol Institut). The freedom of action and the sarcastic character that so often pervade the work of Valentina Miorandi contributed to her successful participation in group exhibitions such as the European Biennial of Art – Manifesta 7 (2008), No Soul For Sale in New York (2009), at MADRE Museum in Naples (2009), Castello di Rivoli in Turin (2010), or at the Cultural Institute in Belgrade (2010).
