ADUKI is the name under which Maximiliano Zanabre, a self-taught Visual Artist and Designer, develops the Virtual Label Pump-a.org

He was born in 1982 in Mar del Plata, Argentina, and he lives in Buenos Aires since 2001. In that year he began his undergraduate studies in Image and Sound Design at the University of Buenos Aires, and finally dropped out in 2004. Between 2005 and 2006 he worked as Art Director of the artist collective Duplex Makelab.

This two-year project of continuous production and work development resulted in reunions, exhibition calls, mentions and showings, such as the international festival RESFEST BA 05 (MALBA, 2006).

In 2007 he founded PumpA, aiming at developing a signature style. He has taken part in several national and international projects for brands, TV channels, private enterprises and festivals.

The works exhibited here are a representative selection.

The variety of artistic disciplines that ADUKI works on relate to his interest in Form, Concept and Materiality. It is this that allows such qualities to apply to different fields and formats.

ADUKI currently performs as Art Director and Creative Designer for studios, agencies and freelance activities.

In 2009 Maximiliano Zanabre & Marina Fages created "PROVINCIA" (www.flickr.com/provincia), a small art exhibition hall in Buenos Aires, but also a place to produce creative work. Marina and Maximiliano work there, inviting different artists to participate. Every sunday there are acoustic shows of local music artists, generating meetings of social and artistic exchange.
