Description
Carlos Bunga - I always tried to imagine my home I (Schirn Kunsthalle Project)

Technique: Latex paint and glue on cardboard and furniture.

Artist Biography: Carlos Bunga (b. 1976 Porto) attended the Escola Superior de Arte e Design in Caldas da Rainha, in Portugal. He currently lives and works near Barcelona. He creates process-oriented works in various formats: sculptures, paintings, drawings, performances, video, and above all in situ installations, that refer to and intervene in their immediate architectural surroundings. While often using ordinary, unassuming materials such as packing cardboard and adhesive tape, Bunga’s work involves a highly developed degree of aesthetic care and delicacy, as well as a conceptual complexity derived from the inter-relationship between doing and undoing, between unmaking and remaking, between the micro and the macro, between investigation and conclusion. Straddling the divide between sculpture and painting, Bunga’s deceptively delicate works are characterized by an intense study of the combination of color and materiality, while at the same time emphasize the performative aspect of the creative act. Bunga’s works on paper, which are closely related to his sculptures and installations, often involve overlays, whether of compositional elements in the paintings or sheets of translucent paper in the drawings. The analytic/descriptive result, like a photographic double-exposure, mimics the dual experience of memory and imagination underlying the sculpture. Carlos Bunga has had solo shows at Whitechapel Gallery, London (2020), MOCA – Museum of Contemporary Art, Toronto (2020), Centro Internacional das Artes José de Guimarães (2019), MAAT – Museu de Arte, Arquitectura e Tecnologia, Lisbon (2019) Fundaçao Carmona e Costa, Lisbon (2019), Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (2018), MACBA – Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (2015), Museo de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogota, 2015), Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich (2015), Museo Amparo, Puebla, México (2014), MUAC – Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico D.F. (2013), Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo (2012), Fundaçao Serralves, Oporto (2012), Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2011), Miami Art Museum (2009) and MARCO – Museo de Arte Contemporánea de Vigo (2009). He was invited to participate in the Chicago Architecture Biennial (2015), 29th Bienal de São Paulo (2010), the Trienal de Arquitectura de Lisboa (2010), the 14th Biennale Internazionale di Scultura di Carrara (2010) and Manifesta 5, San Sebastian (2004). Bunga was awarded the International Art Prize at Grand Rapids, Michigan (2013) and was short-listed for Artes Mundi 6 Prize, Cardiff (2015). His work is included in important collections such as The Museum of Modern Art (New York), Fundação Serralves (Oporto), Hammer Museum (Los Angeles), Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection (New York), Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, Museum Haus Konstruktiv (Zurich), Pérez Art Museum (Miami), Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Museo Calouste Gulbenkian (Lisbon) or Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), among others. Carlos Bunga (Porto, 1976) frequentou a Escola Superior de Arte e Design em Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. Actualmente vive e trabalha perto de Barcelona. As suas obras, orientadas para o processo, são criadas em vários formatos: esculturas, pinturas, desenhos, performances, vídeo, e, principalmente, instalações in situ, que se referem e intervêm na sua envolvente arquitectónica imediata. Embora utilizando frequentemente materiais simples e despretensiosos, tais como cartão de embalagem e fita adesiva, o trabalho de Bunga envolve um grau altamente desenvolvido de preocupação estética e delicadeza, bem como uma complexidade conceptual derivada da inter-relação entre fazer e desfazer, entre não fazer e refazer, entre o micro e o macro, entre investigação e conclusão. Ultrapassando a divisão entre escultura e pintura, os trabalhos enganosamente delicados de Bunga caracterizam-se por um estudo intenso da combinação da cor e da materialidade, ao mesmo tempo que enfatizam o aspecto performativo do acto criativo. As obras de Bunga sobre papel, que estão intimamente relacionadas com as suas esculturas e instalações, envolvem frequentemente sobreposições, quer de elementos de composição nas pinturas, quer de folhas de papel translúcido nos desenhos. O resultado analítico/descritivo, como uma dupla exposição fotográfica, imita a dupla experiência da memória e da imaginação subjacente à escultura. Carlos Bunga expôs individualmente na Whitechapel Gallery, Londres (2020); MOCA - Museu de Arte Contemporânea, Toronto (2020); Centro Internacional das Artes José de Guimarães (2019); MAAT - Museu de Arte, Arquitectura e Tecnologia, Lisboa (2019); Fundação Carmona e Costa, Lisboa (2019); Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Detroit (2018); MACBA - Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (2015); Museo de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá, 2015); Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Zurique (2015); Museo Amparo, Puebla, México (2014); MUAC - Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo, México D. F. (2013); Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo (2012); Fundação Serralves, Porto (2012); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2011); Miami Art Museum (2009) e MARCO - Museo de Arte Contemporánea de Vigo (2009).
