The exhibition includes digitally-projected films and slide sets, archival and duplicate notebooks, drawings, photographs, and objects, along with a large new commission related to Barrio's installation of coffee, natural fibers, and scarified walls at Documenta 11 in Kassel, Germany. Barrio was born in Portugal and has lived for the past 40 years in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. While tangentially connected to the Neoconcrete and Arte Povera movements, the artist has developed a significant and unique body of critically engaged artwork addressing the social and institutional aspects of culture, community, and contemporary art production. Political yet allusive, suspicious of traditional media yet reluctant to subscribe to the idea of an "advanced" aesthetic, Barrio has blurred lines between his works and urban life, economic systems, natural phenomena, and, indeed, art events, to the point where his work can evade the social-economic structures of so-called festivalism on the one hand, and remain essentially invisible to the object-based art economy on the other. This exhibition–along with an accompanying scholarly catalog and international symposium–documents Barrio's work and brings it into closer contact with existing and emerging dialogs on North and South American, European, Asian, and African art. "Artur Barrio: Actions after Actions" is the 6th exhibition in the Moore International Discovery Series, examining and contextualizing artists who, while significant, are not yet well known in North America: previous honorees have included Terry Fox, Jean-Frédéric Schnyder, Roman Signer, VALIE EXPORT, and Raymond Hains.
