Multimedia artist Eli Sudbrack visited PNCA for three days to engage with students in a variety of contexts. While at PNCA Sudbrack created a limited edition screen print with the assistance of Printmaking faculty and advance printmaking students and joined Intermedia and Sculpture courses for critique and discussion.
Eli Sudbrack was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and lives and works in Sao Paulo and New York. In 2001 he formed the collective Assume Vivid Astro Focus (avaf). Its principal members are Sudbrack and Christophe Hamaide-Pierson (born in Paris, France in 1973). Avaf fuses drawing, sculpture, video, and performance into carnavalesque installations in which gender, politics, and cultural codes float freely. A study in visual adaptation and modification, avaf’s work recycles and transforms imagery from one project to the next—often in the form of densely patterned wallpapers and graphic signage. Personal expression and a lust for life feature prominently in projects simultaneously rooted in the politics of free speech, civil rights, and the dissolution of rigid classifications of class, gender, and national identity. In frequent collaborations with musicians, designers, dancers, and other artists, avaf challenges conventional assumptions about authorship and the role of the artist’s persona in contemporary society and the art world. April 12, 2012.
