Stipendiat der Sektion Film- und Medienkunst 2007
Mitglied: Thomas Heise
1961 Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
He studied in the National School of Fine Arts “Prilidiano Pueyrredón” (1986/90).
National Professor of Painting. Teaches in the National Universitary Institute of Art (IUNA – Instituto Universitario Nacional de Arte).
Walk like aesthetic practice and interdisciplinaire action are in the center of his work. His practice investigates the relations between art, history and politics. Three concepts orient this investigation: memory, identity and utopia.
He founds the “Archivo Caminante/Walking Archiv” (2001). Is a visual archiv of argentine history composed by three kinds of documents: images of official archives (public and private), photographies that he takes on his walks and “trash” documents (newspapers, magazines, books, politic flyers and posters, different kinds of graphic material) that he picks up on the streets or that people give for the archiv.
Eduardo Molinari lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
