Dante Buu´s works are dealing with
questions on private and public identities, looked upon the view of social,
cultural, traditional, economic and political norms, which are defined
by the mechanisms of power. His practice of presenting inimate works in
interventions publicly shows the courage and the determination to face
a brutal society, which is characterised by disdain and ubiquitous alienation.
In the Artist Talk, the piece „Welcome Mustafa to the Life You Deserve“
(2015) will play a central role, because the artist intensely dealt with
it during his residency in Graz.. Other projects, which will be presented
to get an impression of Dante Buu´s work will be „A Portrait
of My Parents“ (2014) and „Weekend Lovers“ (2013 –
2015).
The artist is hosted in Graz by Cultural City Network Graz und < rotor
> center for contemporary art in the frame of the project West Balkan
Calling during the month of May 2016.
