“I am not interdisciplinary. I am a hustler … a good one.”
With his charismatic and at the same time provocative performances, videos, music and poetry, multimedia artist Nástio Mosquito brings a raw new voice into contemporary art. His work shows an intense commitment to the open-ended potential of language. Easily misread as a kind of world weariness, it is the extraordinary expression of an urgent desire to engage with reality at all levels. In 2015, Birmingham’s IKON Gallery presented his first solo exhibition “Daily Lovemaking”, followed by a powerful show at the 56th Venice Biennale. With his new, immersive and visually powerful piece “Respectable Thief”, Mosquito combines video, music and live-performance to celebrate a productive, consequent, articulate and eloquent anger, and the power it has to instigate motion in communal social environments.
