La Paradoja del No: Carlos Pazos, George Brecht, Robert Filliou

The project presents a false retrospective, based on two artists: Georges Brecht (New York, 1926 - Cologne, 2008) and Carlos Pazos (Barcelona, 1949) who neither formed a tandem in life nor coincided in a common scene. Despite this, the debt and the ability to understand each other allows us to think of them as if they were the same artist or as if, despite being two different people, they were dealing with the same body of work. The first spoke of "Objects-events", the second of "Climatic pieces". A way of rethinking the "objet-trouvé", the "ready-made" but from the scenic character and theatricality. This approach allows not only to vindicate Brecht from Pazos, and Pazos from Brecht, but also to dynamite the concept of retrospective and to rethink the institutionally accepted systems of presentation and commercialization of art. The figure of Robert Filliou will complete the project.
