Installation Pedro Cabrita Reis to Arts in memory 6 Pedro Cabrita Reis
Pedro Cabrita Reis was born in Lisbon in 1956, where he still lives and works. Having received wide international recognition, its employment is crucial for the understanding of a new model in sculpture that developed in the mid 80s. The whole body of work is marked by a highly individual poetic and philosophical discourse, and includes a diverse use of media: painting, sculpture, photography and site-specific installations made of found objects and handmade. Using simple materials, Pedro Cabrita Reis recycles through constructive processes, almost anonymous memories of primal gestures and actions that we repeat quotidianamente.Il his work raises the question of space, and memory architecture, with a suggestive power of association that goes beyond the visual to level metaforico.Ha participated in many important exhibitions internationally, including Documenta XI, Kassel 1992, at 22 ° and 24 ° Bienal de São Paulo, in 1994 and 1998, was opened at the Venice Biennale in 1997. In 2003 he represented Portugal at the Venice Biennale.
