BRIAN BELOTT, US

Brian Belott (nato nel 1973 a East Orange, New Jersey) vive e lavora a New York.
Ha esposto a livello internazionale con mostre in gallerie tra cui Morán Morán (Los Angeles), Studio d'arte Raffaelli (Trento), Loyal Gallery (Stoccolma), Tanya Leighton (Berlino), Gavin Brown's Enterprise (New York), CANADA Gallery (New York) ). Belott è stato incluso nella Biennale Whitney 2019.
Le opere di Belott sono esposte in istituzioni tra cui il Museum of Modern Art (New York), il Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), il COBRA Museum (Amstelveen), il Museo Yuz (Shanghai), The Jewish Museum (New York), MoCAD ( Detroit), The Aldrich Museum (Ridgefield) e Musée d'Art Moderne (Saint-Etienne).
Il lavoro di Brian Belott fa parte della collezione permanente del Museum of Modern Art (New York) e del Whitney Museum of American Art (New York).
Combinazione, riconfigurazione, confusione: ognuna di queste caratteristiche gioca un ruolo vitale, perché Belott è un grande assemblatore di cose. ("Tutto ruota attorno alla fusione", ha notato nel 2017).

Ventagli e batuffoli di cotone; collezioni di libri per bambini; calcolatrici ingioiellate con pietre; gatti con orologi per gli occhi: Belott's è un dadaista intento a rendere le cose ordinarie straordinarie, creando così un nuovo tipo di logica (del tutto illogica).

"Strappalo, ricomincia, guarda cosa hai " : una politica di revisione senza fine che sembra stranamente familiare al passaggio delle persone nella vita.
"L'inevitabilità della distruzione crea più creatività", dice Belott, e c'è sicuramente una qualità distruttiva e punk in questo processo di taglia, incolla e dipingi dappertutto: una giocosa mancanza di rispetto per gli usi previsti degli oggetti.
