Marlon de Azambuja
Following a series of related works, Brutalismo Americano by Marlon de Azambuja is a site-specific sculptural installation produced during the artist’s residency at Kadist, San Francisco in 2017. Treating the city as an object of attention, de Azambuja collected building materials from the surrounding area over a period of ten days to conceive of an architecture in situ. The work is not meant to mimic any of San Francisco’s own architecture, or to be a maquette or portrait of the cityscape, but instead a singular, constructive gesture. Appearing exactly as they are, the large mass of tiles, bricks, and glass are stacked into individual buildings. Carefully raised upward and resting on a few small points, Brutalismo Americano mobilizes a thinking process about the forces that give shape to the places we live and work, and to the values that suspend them.
Based on ideas of architecture, and by means of appropriation of public space and studio-based material operations, Marlon de Azambuja’s work creates new idioms for thinking and inhabiting the built environment. He began his informal training as an artist in Curitiba, Brazil, interacting with space, form, and working in a diverse array of media. Consistently, de Azambuja’s practice examines the cultural and aesthetic impact of urban space and the influence that Brazilian modernist architecture has on the collective consciousness.
