Tunga

The artist

Born in 1952 in Palmarès, Brazil, Tunga died in June 2016 in Rio. Trained as an architect, he has created a body of work that is both conceptual and baroque, incorporating literary references, videos and performances into his complex sculptural pieces. He was highly learned and passionate about alchemy, a process that forms one of the pillars of his artistic practices. His works are poetical manifestations of ‘the duel between cerebral process and biological impulse.’ He passed away in 2016.

INSIDE

PALAIS DE TOKYO, PARIS

Jean-Michel Alberola and Tunga are part of the Inside group exhibition at Palais de Tokyo (Oct 20 – January 11). Inside offers visitors a passage to the interior of the self, for which the exhibition space serves as a metaphor. This immense odyssey, both physical and psychological, invites us to walk through two floors of the Palais de Tokyo that have been transformed by artists in such a way that, from one installation to the next, we remain constantly immersed in the works, which lead us within ourselves – from our skin to our most intimate thoughts. With : Jean-Michel ALBEROLA, Dove ALLOUCHE, Yuri ANCARANI, Sookoon ANG, Christophe BERDAGUER & Marie PEJUS, Christian BOLTANSKI, Peter BUGGENHOUT, Marc COUTURIER, Nathalie DJURBERG & Hans BERG, dran, Marcius GALAN, Ryan GANDER, Ion GRIGORESCU, HU Xiaoyuan, Eva JOSPIN, Jesper JUST, Mikhail KARIKIS & Uriel ORLOW, Mark MANDERS, Bruce NAUMAN, Mike NELSON, NUMEN/FOR USE, Abraham POINCHEVAL Araya RASDJARMREARNSOOK, Reynold REYNOLDS & Patrick JOLLEY, Ataru SATO, Stéphane THIDET, TUNGA, Andra URSUTA, Valia FETISOV, Andro WEKUA, Artur ZMIJEWSKI.

SEXE, MONEY AND POWER(GROUP SHOW)

Maison Particulière, Brussels, Belgium

From January 17th to March 24 th 2013 Sex, Money and Power will be the sixth exhibit on display at Maison Particulière starting January 17 until March 24, 2013. We have gathered by our side our friends and collectors Galila, Estelle and Hervé Francès, and Alain Servais. Along these contemporary art collectors, a primitive arts collector has joined us. The works of our guest artist, Kendell Geers, create an invisible yet essential guiding thread throughout the exhibit. The Alain Mallart and Marcel Croës duet worked hand in hand to select texts that ring true and underscore the works of art on display. (…)
