ANA JOTTA
Was born in Lisbon in 1946, where she works and lives.
After studying at Lisbon´s Fine Arts School and Brussel´s École d´Arts Visuels
de l´Abbeye de la Cambre, she made a career as an actress (1969-1980). From the
1980´s onwards, she focused her activity on the visual arts and since the early
nineties has been a regular presence at major art fairs and biennales (ARCO,
Brussels, Johannesburg, Barcelona, etc.). In 2005, she had a retrospective
exhibition at the Museu de Serralves. Ana Jotta has build her work in a
sequence of breakthroughs that embody some sort of erasement: of her own
previous footsteps; of modernist ideology and post-modern mythologies; and of
the notion of authorship - either by deconstructing it or rebuilding it,
she has attempted to dismantle the idea of a coherent or univocal style.
Through a bare economy of means, her work shows a great sense of intelligence
and wit. With Ana Jotta, you can always expect the unexpected.
Olá Filipa,
