Nele Azevedo ‘s Minimum Monument project,
alongside with the other urban interventions developed by the artist as ‘’Glory to inglorious fights’’ and ‘’Anhangabau: a river for the absent ones’’, have their genesis on local history and are ephemeral. The aimed dimension is always the political-poetical that the artistic can create. Art and coexistence, art and exchange, art as a currency.These ephemeral interventions resulted in videos, pictures and drawings.
Artist and independent researcher, Néle Azevedo lives and works in São Paulo, Brazil. In 2010 the Minimum Monument opens the Bielnal the Arctic in Stavanger Norway and in 2014 it participates in the celebrations of the First World War centenary in Birmingham (UK). His last work (May/2015) Composition for a body sculptures and one body brings together installation and dance.
Artista e pesquisadora independente, Néle Azevedo vive e trabalha em São Paulo. As intervenções no espaço urbano Monumento Mínimo, Glória às lutas inglórias ou Anhangabaú: um rio para os ausentes se originam a partir da história local e são efêmeras. A dimensão almejada é sempre aquela em que a produção artística tem o sentido de um fazer político-poético. Arte e convívio, arte e troca, arte como moeda de circulação.
