Summary:

First time exhibition of Paulo Bruscky's mail art works outside of Brazil, the country where he escaped the censorship of the South American dictatorships of the 1970s. Curated by Jacopo Visconti Crivelli, the exhibition 'Atitude Política' presents a selection of works from the Arquivo Paulo Bruscky, a collection that has been built over more than five decades by the artist himself, independently, signaling the relevance of collaborative practices and communication as central elements of the artist's research. It is currently considered the largest art and multimedia collection in Latin America, and one of the largest in the world. The show celebrates the addition of Bruscky's work to the institution's collection and focuses on delving into the artist's personal archive, bringing together letters, works, poems, press, and documents from other artists. Multimedia artist, poet and pioneer of "art-communication", Bruscky emerged on the Brazilian art scene during the period of the Military Dictatorship, a time when political freedoms and freedom of expression were under strong repression. Because it was a context that made it difficult to create more conventional works, given the persecution of censorship, many artists began to make use of alternative languages and supports, such as videos, performances, postcards and happenings, thus emerging a conceptual scene of great importance in the country, of which Paulo Bruscky was one of the main exponents. His artistic practice, based on the idea of art as information, is marked by constant experimentalism, resulting in a plural body of works, composed of visual poetry, artist's books, performances, urban interventions, films in Super-8 and works in new media.
