Nicolás Robbio
Nicolás Robbioas book, organized by the critic, Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, is presented in two volumes. The first of them contains texts by Santiago G. Navarro and Paulo Miyada, as well as captions of the images. The second notebooks is composed exclusively of images.
The publication focuses on the work produced by the artist during the last ten years, including drawings, sculptures, installations and video stills. According to Santiago Navarro, “in his work, representation and similarity serve, [a] to explore the non-equivalence between signs, to create distance or space between signs, as a way of reconnecting them with the representation, but without seeking to restore their function of similarity”.
Nicolás Robbio was born in Mar del Platé, Argentina, in 1975. He lives and works in São Paulo. A graduate of the Visual Arts School of Buenos Aires (Escola de Artes Visuais de Buenos Aires), Robbio has developed a multi-disciplinary approach using design as a tool for the study and development of its conceptual possibilities. The design of furniture and graphic objects, plastic plants or specific designs, are examples of this approach. In 2014 he staged the solo exhibition, Medos Modernos (Modern Fears), at the Instituto Tomie Ohtake, in São Paulo. In addition to this, he has exhibited at spaces such as the Fundação Serralves, in Porto a Portugal, and Bethanien Kunsthaus, in Berlin, Germany. He has also taken part in group exhibitions such as Imagine Brazil, MAC Lyon and the 28thBiennale of São Paulo (2008).
