ABOUT
|
Daniel de Almeida Cabral is a visual artist and video maker. In his practice, de Almeida Cabral negotiates with fragments from the different contexts and identities he navigates through in and outside of the art world, by transforming and recontextualizing them. His working method involves the appropriation of diverse material, such as photography, found objects and video, as well as extensive research, often resulting in multimedia installations. With an interdisciplinary approach, the field of International Relations has become an open source of references which are embodied in his artistic practice through the appropriation of its themes and aesthetics. He is concerned with issues of representation, discourse and context.
Daniel earned a B.A. in International Relations in 2012, before making the transition to the Visual Arts. Since then, he studied Critical Theory in Contemporary Art Practice at the Chelsea College of Arts (London, 2015) and currently follows the Premaster program at Sint-Lucas Antwerp. He participated in exhibitions such as OVERPRINT (Centre de la Gravure et de l’Image imprimée, La Louvière, 2018); Lebanese Biennale of Art (MACAM, Alita, 2017) and RISCO (MAMAM, Recife, 2014). In 2015, he was selected for the WARP Artist Village, promoted by the Bruges Triennial. In 2018, his publication "Tour Leopold II - A Guide to the Colonial Heritage of Europe" was nominated for the Prix Révélation Livre d'Artiste by the Multiple Art Days and ADAGP in Paris, France. Born in Recife, Brazil. Lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. |
