Description
Summary:In Erased (2021) Paulo Simão evokes Erased De Kooning Drawing by Robert Rauschenberg and, by manipulating a set of images from the US Library of Congress, reframes the archive and develops a series that invites us to a myriad of questions and reflections. With his intervention Paulo Simão creates a kind of anti-evocative monument and, by isolating the plinth, he opens a new perspective and approach to the artistic work, moreover, emphasizes the importance and role that the artist, the artistic work and, in this particular project, the evocative public art piece assumes by validating certain values, knowledge, historical events or collective memories.
