Title: Paulo Bruscky
Description: The book examines the career of conceptual artist Bruscky, an artist relegated from the Brazilian art system by the specialized critics for decades, for working outside their standards. This edition acknowledges the diverse (and sometimes humorous) production and unconventional life of Bruscky, a pioneer in Brazil of applications such as photography, mail art, audio art, video art, book-object, stamp art, performance, artdoor, artists' books, xerography and faxart. From 1979 to 1982 he has made 30 films. in 1980 he invented "xerofilmes," films done with xerographic images, creating a new field for animated design and experimental cinema. In 1983 he started his video installations, participating in around 60 international exhibitions. Bruscky owns an important documental collection about postwar art movements, including works of the groups Fluxus and Gutai (Japan).
