In 2018 the New York based Italian artist, Francesco Vizzini, and New York based, American artist, Norman Chernick-Zeitlin, began to sign their work together under the name Ciccio. In Italian, Ciccio means cute and chubby, in Italy it's a term for a close friend. It's also the nick name Norman calls Francesco. Norman comes from a background in painting and poetry, while Francesco worked as a set designer in Cinecitta in Rome for many years. Ciccio's work has been been shown at O-Townhouse in Los Angeles and at Galerie Christina Meyer in Munich. They have also shown works in public parks; in Prospect Park, Brooklyn and in Erie Basin Park, Brooklyn as events outside the gallery system. In 2019 they started showing the work of other collaborations in their apartment in Brooklyn Heights. Organizing these exhibitions was a way to build a dialogue with other collaborative practices and to give a space for their friends who haven't collaborated to experiment with working outside their usual individual artistic practices.
