Statement Profile GlogauAIR Project CV Summary

Statement

Jose`s work articulate the power relationships experienced by the contemporaneous subject. They are exposed explicitly, in an irreverent way, providing a confusing message in the receptor.

His work maintains an interest for large formats and the use of materials affected by erosion, due to their exposition to the environment, as seen in his earlier work (specifically in site specific paints). Recently, influenced by different artistic trends, he made a change in his works, pointing at a more specific painting, joining other elements, such as oil, wood and stones. This change reflects his interest in conceptualizing and contextualizing new themes in his work: power, religion, violence and sex, as the objectification of power in the body or the objectification of the body through power.

Profile

GlogauAIR Project

The city, through its residuality as footprint and context of a postindustrial identity, is the object of my study. I consider the idea of identity as a constant construction and deconstruction that is mobile and could be manipulated.
The system of power in all its variants is a component of an overwhelming reality considered both in a political way as well as in a plastic and visual form.
This residuality is ultimately presented as a symbolic archeology of a system.
Through a conceptual investigative process of production, I seek to give a form and a weight to the underlying invisible processes of this structure.
When entire aspects of our existence fall into abstraction, as a consequence of a world-scale change, it is through the process of production that a connection is formed between signs and images.

This process is develped through three phases

1st – “IDEOLOGICAL MONUMENTALIZATION”:
a research focusing on the monumentalization of the city generated during the occupation of the allies

2nd – this final investigation find a way through the meaning of the production process, generated by this aesthetic – ideological sequences in relation to the subject before proposed.

3rd – these aesthetic – ideological relations are defined by means of pieces (i.e. defined by the meaning of the investigation) and while working as initial act of an idea in construction, they propose more questions than answers
