O falso ready-made

  • Joana Soares

Carlos Mensil is a Portuguese visual artist work based in Porto. For his master thesis object, in which he explored the relevance of the support on painting, we’ve played with the “support” concept. The master thesis cover resulted as a subtle joke, since it’s the only place where Carlos ever used canvas in is whole work. We decided to join both parts of his thesis - theoretical and practical - in one single object. We made a reversal book in which one side contains the investigation and the other a catalog with the work developed.
