‘Section’ book launch

‘Section’ is the first monograph on APT artis Marcius Galan’s work, and its starting point is the idea of fragmentation, taken from the artist’s own work.

The book is organized by Rodrigo Moura who produced an essay that has been sectioned off and distributed throughout the book, creating different chapterrss and blocks of themed images.

In addition to this main text, the book also includes an interview by Kiki Mazzucchelli, which contemplates key aspects of his work and early career, and draws attention to themes found throughout his works, such as functionality and the subversion of representational systems. There is also a text by Manuel Cirauqui, ‘The area of Marcius’, which uses the artist’s studio and his tools as a model to understand his language.

Essentially the chapters in Moura’s text are divided into four of Galan’s areas of interest – design, architecture, sculpture and drawing -, although these subjects do eventually overlap and penetrate his work as a whole and the critical texts written on it.

The book was edited by the publisher Cosac Naify.
