Marcius Galan

de Rodrigo Moura

Seçãoʺ (Section) is the first monography on the oeuvre of artist Marcius Galan and has as its starting point the idea of fragmentʺ, extracted from the very work of the artist. The book is organized by Rodrigo Moura that produced an essay distributed along the book, so as to create different chapters and blocks of thematic images. In addition to the main essay, an interview granted to Kiki Mazzucchelli seeks to give account of crucial aspects of his work to revisit the work of early career and pointing to subjects such as functionality and the subversion of systems of representation, crossing his whole work. A text of Manuel Cirauqui 'A área de Marciusœ (the area of Marcius) describes the artist's studio and his tools as a model for the understanding of his language. Schematically the edition is divided into the four disciplines of interest to Galan - design, architecture, sculpture and drawing -, though these subjects overlap each other and interpenetrate the work and texts about it.
