Locandina mostra Louro

João Louro. I will be your mirror / Poems and Problems

Portuguese official representation in the 56th Venice of Art Biennale

Topics: 

The thrust of the project that João Louro presents in Venice borrows the title of a song from Velvet Underground—”I’ll Be Your Mirror.”

Through elements taken from Minimalism and Conceptual Art, João Louro is an intensely conceptual artist, one whose intensity is shown in his presentation and interpretation of the world, in his musical phrasing of experience and in his commitment to bringing things to their limit, through a stunning unfolding of calculated tension and control.

The works created specifically for the Portuguese Pavilion, highlight the concern that João Louro has always shown in generating new semantic aspects and raising doubts about norms accepted by our visual culture, as well as in converting the spectator’s role into that of a participant, creating invented places and imagining scenes and inhabiting words that allow us to cultivate our deepest desires and aspirations.
