Critics consider Jos\u00e9 Pedro Croft one of the renovators in Portuguese sculpture, and one of the most representative figures in the artistic international panorama. He personifies a coherent and constant artistic trajectory, who\u00a0aside from working with Galeria Senda for more than fifteen years, Croft will have a solo show\u00a0in the space in Barcelona in March 2017.<\/p>\n
Invited by \u00c1lvaro Siza, one of the most important names in the architecture field, Jos\u00e9 Pedro Croft will work together with him in a large project that will begin in the Architecture Biennial in Venice and will culminate in the Arts Biennial in 2017. Although Portugal does not have an official pavilion in any of the Biennials, his project will represent the country for both events.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese exhibit is the only one, because it will be installed in the island of Giudecca in Venice, where Siza\u2019s social dwelling project, created in 1985, can be found: Campo di Marte. This project, related with social architecture, was formed by four architects (Aldo Rossi, Arlos Aymonino, Rafael Moneo and Siza himself) and he was never able to complete it because he didn\u2019t have enough funding. Campo di Marte was composed by four buildings that conform an interior patio where Jos\u00e9 Pedro Croft is in charge of creating a source of dialogue with a space built by these buildings. All of this will take place in the 15th Architecture Biennial, which will be from May 28th until November 27th of this year.<\/p>\n
In reference to the 57th Arts Biennial in Venice (from May 13th until November 26th in 2017), Croft also represented Portugal with an installation curated by Jo\u00e3o Pinharanda, which will create dialogue with Siza\u2019s architecture project. The artist will build a monumental sculpture in the Campo di Marte and it will be made with iron, mirrors and glass, three elements that characterize Croft\u2019s artistic proposal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
