Marepe - Hardcover
This is the first comprehensive monograph on the young Brazilian artist Marepe, who lives and works in Santo Antônio de Jesus in Bahia Province in northwestern Brazil. The cosmos of this location--Marepe's birthplace--provides the stimuli for his art. His works, exhibited worldwide at Biennale festivals and museums such as London's Tate Modern or Paris' Centre Pompidou, evolve from the region's history, the daily lives of its people and the creativity that helps them to survive. As Jens Hoffmann writes in his essay: "Marepe's world is fairly unique and his works of art are not just objects representing an idea or concept, they are witnesses of his life and the condensation of his experiences and his dreams. His interpretation of his surroundings is rendered into multifaceted, poetic and frequently beautiful works of art, which speak profoundly about some of the most relevant and even existential questions of our lives." Adriano Pedrosa analyzes the transformative impact of placing rows of water filters or replica market stalls in an art context. Statements, notes and poetry from the artist himself shed further light on the background of his pieces.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Dies ist die erste umfassende Monografie über das Werk des jungen brasilianischen Künstlers Marepe, der in der Provinz Bahia im Nordwesten Brasiliens in Santo Antônio de Jesus lebt und arbeitet. Der Kosmos dieses Ortes - Marepes Geburtsstadt - bildet den Nährboden für seine Kunst. Seine Geschichte, der Alltag und die Kreativität, die beim täglichen Überleben hilft, stehen im Zentrum dieser Arbeiten, die weltweit auf Biennalen und in Museen wie der Tate Modern oder dem Centre Pompidou gezeigt werden. 'Marepes Welt ist ziemlich einzigartig, und seine Kunstwerke sind mehr als nur Objekte, die Vorstellungen oder Konzepte verkörpern, vielmehr sprechen sie vom Leben des Künstlers, sie verdichten seine Erfahrungen und Träume. Marepe interpretiert seine Umwelt in vielschichtigen, poetischen und häufig sehr schönen Arbeiten, die sich tiefgründig mit wichtigen, ja existenziellen Fragen unseres Lebens beschäftigen', schreibt Jens Hoffmann in seinem Essay. Die Bedeutungsverschiebungen von aufgereihten Wasserfiltern oder nachgebauten Marktständen im Ausstellungskontext analysiert Adriano Pedrosa. Statements, Notizen und Poesie des Künstlers machen den Hintergrund seiner Werke begreifbar. Seller Inventory # 9783935567404
