Life and work
Cláudio Garrudo graduated from the School of Social Communication, in Lisbon, between 1995 and 1999, attended an Erasmus program at Barcelona Universidad Autónoma, in Spain, between 1997 and 1998 and won a Leonardo da Vinci grant in Czech Republic.
He exhibited in Portugal, Spain, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania, participated in art fairs in Lisbon, Miami, New York City and Madrid. He won the first prize in the VII edition of the Biennial of Coruche and edited several photography books.
He co-founded and organizes Mapa das Artes,[1] Bairro das Artes[2] and PIPA – Programa da Imagem e da Palavra da Azinhaga,[3] he's a member of the board of directors of the association Isto não é um cachimbo and editorial director of the National Press Ph. Series,[4] where he has published Jorge Molder, Paulo Nozolino, Helena Almeida, Fernando Lemos, José M. Rodrigues, Ernesto de Sousa and Jorge Guerra.
His artistic work is based on the crossing of different territories such as painting and literature, and, in this context, we can highlight the series "Quintetos" with a text by Eduardo Lourenço, "Os Senhores do Bairro" with a text by Gonçalo M. Tavares and "Trindade" dedicated to Fernando Pessoa's Mensagem. His main interest is to explore this idea of "no frontier" in photography.
