Lourival Cuquinha Brazil, b. 1975
-
Overview
Lourival Cuquinha's work reflects on the exercise of freedom, whether that of the individual in relation to society, or of art in relation to institutions. Operating in the political field from subjective narratives, his multidisciplinary work - which encompasses the visual arts, audiovisual and intervention - is often marked by interactivity with the public and the urban environment.
His provocative actions seek to create a permanent tension in the art system as they question procedures and negotiate spaces of insertion. Money notes, flags, contracts and receipts are recurrent elements in many of these works, reflecting the strategy of appropriating the system only to subvert it and, at the same time, imbuing the bureaucratic apparatus with infinite poetic possibilities. -
