João Louro CV as pdf-File
João Louro (1963) lives and works in Lisbon. He studied architecture at the University of Lisbon and painting at the Arco School of Visual Art.
João Louro's body of work encompasses painting, sculpture, photography and video. A natural descendant of conceptual and minimal art, João Louro has sought to override the romantic paradigm using the importance and role of the viewer, who completes the work of art. One of the prime concerns to his work is the reorganization of the visual world and what visuality means. Another important issue is the language in all of its possibilities and aspects.
João Louro was invited by Maria de Corral to participate in 'The Experience of Art' in the Italian Pavilion at the 51st International Art Exhibition of the Biennale di Venezia.
His work is included in several major public and private collections such as the Fondación Arco Collection, Madrid and the Margulies Collection, Miami, Florida.
Recent exhibitions include 'Blind Runner', Centro Cultural de Belém, Lisbon (2004) and 'Art Practices in the Public Domain', Insite 05, San Diego/Tijuana (2005).
