Nicolas Y Galeazzi uses performance as an act of research. His work focuses on developing social discourses through artistic research projects and is articulated in concepts, installations, performances and printed matter.

Originally trained as a theatre director in Zurich (ZHdK), he worked as actor, director, set designer, and musician in theatre context. This provoked the need to search for a redistribution of the responsibilities for the 'artwork' and to develop new models for collaboration and dissemination of art.
Galeazzi sets up performative research frameworks where audience can experiment with political and social conditions. Galeazzi calls such events Mise-en-Discourse.

In collaboration with several artist collectives, such as GASTSTUBE°performance or the Berlin n@work EMANUELLE, he devised several long term performance projects in international contexts.
After ten years of practical engagement in art, he investigated the theoretical side of his practice in the MA Contemporary Art Practices and Dissemination (MACAPD) at Dartington College of Arts (UK).
Currently he develops together with Joël Verwimp the COYOTL Yournal under Verlegt Verlag - a dispersed journal in a non-negotiated space for printed Performance.
He is member of the stuff at the artistic research environment [a.pass] Advanced Performance Training in Antwerp and tutor at Flutgraben Workspace in Berlin.
