The Portuguese artist Carlos Bunga (b. 1976 in Porto, lives in Barcelona) has become famous in recent years for his architectural interventions with cardboard and adhesive strips. Having started with painting, Bunga soon expanded on his original artistic practice by adding different media, such as collage, drawing, performance, sculpture, and video. His artistic engagement focuses on architecture and the urban space, as well as on living conditions in our time, which are characterized by constant change, as is also evident in his choice of materials: variable and ephemeral forms of dwelling can be produced quickly with simple means. Bunga’s exhibition title ‘I am a Nomad’ refers not only to his nomadism in terms of art media, but also to a way of living that is widespread in times of globalization.
For his exhibition at Museum Haus Konstruktiv, Carlos Bunga has conceived a site-specific walk-through installation of cardboard, paint, and adhesive strips, on the 5th floor. One room on the 4th floor is devoted to the drawings, sculptures and video works that Bunga develops in response to his installations. This exhibition is the first presentation in Switzerland by this artist, who has been nominated for the Artes-Mundi Art Prize 2014.
