Galeria Zé dos Bois Bairro Alto · Lisbon

ZDB dedicates an anthological exhibition to Paulo Bruscky, centred on the series 'Bruscky em Brusque' and his method of linking chance and logic in creation.

Full details

PAULO BRUSCKY (b. 1949, Recife) is one of the leading pioneers of conceptual art in Brazil, expressing himself artistically through the relationships between art, communication and technology since the early 1970s. Bruscky devotes himself to artistic experimentation through visual and sound poetry, performances, artist books and films, xerox art and fax art, installations, urban interventions and new media. Having contributed widely to the poem/process and mail art movements, his work is characteristically semiotic, privileging non-literal meanings, chance and coincidences as bases for creation. In the early 1980s, Bruscky travelled to the city of Brusque in Santa Catarina, motivated by the chance of the near-homonymy. He collects and manipulates postcards, photographs information boards, signs and elements of the city, creating a series of works entitled 'Bruscky em Brusque'. This attitude, transversal to all his work, of establishing a link between chance and logic as a stimulating premise for creation is the reason for the anthological exhibition that ZDB dedicates to the artist.

Show original (Portuguese)

PAULO BRUSCKY (n. 1949, Recife) é um dos principais pioneiros na arte conceptual do Brasil, manifestando-se artisticamente através das relações entre arte, comunicação e tecnologia desde o início dos anos de 1970. Bruscky dedica-se à experimentação artística através da poesia visual e sonora, performances, livros e filmes de artista, xerox arte e fax arte, instalações, intervenções urbanas e dos novos mídia. Tendo contribuído amplamente para os movimentos do poema/processo e da arte postal, a sua obra é caracteristicamente semiótica, privilegiando as significações não-literais, acasos e coincidências como bases para a criação. No início dos anos 80, Bruscky viaja até à cidade de Brusque em Santa Catarina, motivado pelo acaso da quase-homonímia. Recolhe e manipula postais, fotografa placas de informação, sinalizações e elementos da cidade, criando uma série de obras intitulada “Bruscky em Brusque”. Esta atitude, transversal a toda a sua obra, de estabelecer um vínculo entre o acaso e a lógica enquanto premissa instigante para a criação é motivo da exposição antológica que a ZDB dedica ao artista.
