Summary

Nuño Pucurull (San José, 1945-2014) was a visual artist, ceramist and sculptor. His training was dispersed and extensive, going through multiple workshops, mostly related to the Escuela del Sur (1958-1961) and then with Díaz Yepes (1961-1965). The artist who sought to become familiar with less traditional media such as photography and experimental graphics. Linked to the left and in particular to the MLN, he was arrested in 1972. Upon his release from prison in 1985, he studied with Guillermo Fernández, at the Club de Grabado de Montevideo and from Eva Díaz he received guidance in ceramics and sculpture. In the 1990s his work achieved a voice of his own in his actions as an artist, which swings between the contemporary avant-garde and absolute marginality. This exhibition by Nuño Pucurull, curated by Gustavo Tabarez, once again brings us back to the work of this artist, since in 2002 he had to curate his exhibition at the Dodecá Cultural Center. This proposal is a more than deserved tribute to Nuño who has died after a long illness.
