Together with\u00a0Rodrigo Braga<\/a>\u00a0(Brazil), the art historian and critic Jovana Stokic will examine a selection of the artist\u2019s photographs and videos that speak about presence that follows performance. Braga\u2019s works are exclusively performed for the camera,\u00a0 in undisclosed locations and without an audience. As a result of this process, images, therefore allow the viewer to become the witness. For tonight\u2019s event, Rodrigo will present early works in conjunction with his current investigations undertaken in specific areas of New York that have inspired him to inter-react.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo Braga (b. Manaus 1976) is a Brazilian artist who currently lives and works in Rio de Janeiro and who earned his graduate degree in Visual Arts at the Federal University of Pernambuco (2002). Braga\u2019s performative practice reveals itself through photography that deals with his relationship with landscape and animals. In his latest series of work, shown at last year\u2019s 30th Bienal de S\u00e3o Paulo (2012), Braga addresses the conflict between man and nature, human and animal<\/p>\n
