• Resumen

  • The article focuses on artist Artur Barrio, who will represent Brazil at the 54th Venice Biennale, and describes his works of art. A cited problem with the output of Barrio is that his experiments defy circulation and exhibition. Barrio considers his practice as forms of distance compromised by representation. He was part of a group of Brazilian artists when he attended the Escola de Belas Artes in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the late 1960s. He describes his urban interventions as deflagration and he promoted a brand of protest art that approached anarchy.
