TIỂU SỬ
Marcos Chaves was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1961 and began his
artistic endeavours in the early 1980’s. By using appropriation and
intervention parameters, the artist works in diverse media, openly
moving between the production of objects, photographs, videos,
drawings, words and sounds.
“Marcos Chaves surprises meanings and values that are
immersed in vulgar things, dissimulated by habit or convention. He
makes unpredictable displacements and produces assemblages in a
tone of parody distilling his acute observations of the world, from
technology to rubbish.”
