In 1983 she returned to Italy and invited by Francesca Alinovi participated in the "Enfatisti" movement,[1] a group of young artists from Bologna who showed their paintings at the Neon gallery.
[2] One year later she moved back to Milan where she participated in the group show “Dall’olio all’Aeroplanino” held at the Studio San Gottardo that had just been opened by Corrado Levi.
In 1992 Levi selected her to represent Italy with her installation “Coca Cola Classic”[3] at the international exhibit “The Seven Artists” organized in Tokyo by INFAS and Hanae Mori's family.
Her approach to the genre “… was studied and re-conceived in the light of all the battles (true and imaginary) as told by movies, literature and painting",[7] unreal armies made of timeless soldiers against a photographic background.
On June 20 the artist boarded the Isolda, a Polish merchant ship for a 16 days Atlantic Ocean crossing that went along Newfoundland, up the Saint Lawrence river ending up in Cleveland.
This project has been first presented by the Rilke Foundation in Sierre Switzerland and afterwards exhibited in a solo show in Milano at the Giardini dell'Arte, at PAC, organized by the Frigoriferi Milanesi and curated by Francesco Cataluccio.
Chierici’s works are part of permanent collections in important cultural institutions, both in Italy and abroad, such as Milan’s PAC,[19] Rome’s GNAM,[20] Rovereto's MART[21] and the New York University.
