CV & Ausstellungstext:

ANA JOTTA

born in Lisbon, Portugal, 1946, lives and works in Lisbon, Portugal

Having exhibited regularly since the 1980s, Ana Jotta has developed a completely unique body of work which has warranted her clear recognition both within a national context and, especially over the last decade, internationally. Known for her cutting irony and criticism about the concepts of authorship or originality, extraordinarily diverse and heteroclite in her conception, formulation or presentation, her work occupies a space of freedom, using techniques as varied as painting, collage, performance, drawing, assemblage, pho- tography, installation, sculpture, sound, video, embroidery, engraving, writing or appropriation of objects from various sources.
