Pedro Moraes
Pedro Moraes, Rio de Janeiro 1985
Periode of residence: March 2016
Pedro Moraes interrogates the latent political and social forces implicit in the world designed around us. Working with no signature style, form, or medium, the artist instead approaches each exhibition site by carefully considering its context, history, and relations.
Pedro Moraes engages with reality in the level of the engine rather than on the level of the camera. He completed a MFA in Fine Arts from the Sandberg Institute, Amsterdam. Showed his work in group and solo shows in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Marfa, Antwerp and Amsterdam. He was a resident at fieldwork Marfa in 2014 and in 2015 through 2016 will be a resident at HISK in Gent. He wrote his text in the third person to make you believe that there is someone else behind it, which would give him another layer of institutional acceptance and legitimization.
