Artist: Paulo Bruscky

“Paulo Bruscky was born in Recife, in northeastern Brazil, in 1949. He came of age during the darkest time in his nation’s history, witnessing the 1964 military coup that instigated more than 20 years of dictatorial oppression and ruthless attacks by the military regime on insurgents as well as anyone deemed “subversive.” Nevertheless, he has always operated under the utopian vision that art has the potential to instigate social change, and in his multifaceted works he consistently challenges the socio-political status quo.

One of the world’s first artists to manipulate the xerox machine as an aesthetic device, Bruscky is also a mail artist, poet, creator of artist’s books, inventor, performance artist, photographer, and filmmaker. He has played a critical role in bringing major international artistic movements to Brazil, including Fluxus, mail art, and performance art. Throughout his career, he has produced artworks inspired by everyday experiences that challenge audiences to think about how the world unfolds around them. He has continuously addressed the anonymity and alienation of the individual in the urban landscape, countering that experience with humor, irony, and caustic wit.”

Refletindo sobre a arte e a poesia de Paulo Bruscky. É interessante observar o quanto a cultura, nas suas mais diversas formas, educa, instiga, reflete, questiona, ensina, provoca, diverte, civiliza, entre tantas outras importantes funções. E nesta noite do Oscar 2017, só aumenta minha convicção do quanto a arte é essencial na sociedade contemporânea. Ela cumpre um papel singular em ajudar o povo a desenvolver uma visão crítica sobre o mundo que o rodeia. A arte induz à reflexão, contribui para que a humanidade, como um todo, tenha um senso analítico das coisas que o cercam. Seja na literatura, na escultura, na música, no teatro, no cinema, ou em outro gênero artístico, a arte transcende todas as barreiras e transpõe fronteiras.
