Paulo Bruscky: A Trajectory
Open Lecture
Paulo Bruscky: A Trajectory
A talk with Paulo Bruscky, Moacir dos Anjos and Michael AsburyOn October 10, Paulo Bruscky will participate of a roundtable with Michael Asbury (TrAIN) and Moacir dos Anjos (curator of the 29th São Paulo Biennial) to discuss his artistic trajectory, spanning from his involvement with mail art during the Brazilian military regime (1964 -1984), his collaboration with Daniel Santiago, and his participation in the international Fluxus movement. Characterized by a constant experimentation with media and textuality, the practice of Bruscky is a written record composed of its own idiosyncratic signs, neither registered by mass custom nor by cultural objectification. Rather, his body of work represents one of the greatest expansions of extended writing in Brazilian and international art. The insidiousness of mail art in the time of dictatorship, performances and interventions within the city of Recife and abroad, as well as the semiotic black market of information; these are some of the issues that will be touched upon in this lecture.
