Early life and career

edit

Marcelo Brodsky was born in 1954 in Buenos Aires. He was exiled to Barcelona after the military coup in Argentina in 1976. He studied economics at the University of Barcelona. During his stay in Spain, he took photographs that immortalized the psychological and emotional state generated by exile for political reasons. He returned to Argentina after the end of the military dictatorship in 1984. He began his project Buena Memoria, a visual essay that deals with the experiences and emotions of those who lived through dictatorship and with the consequences of the disappeared by state terror in his generation.[1] Brodsky had many solo and group shows and his work is part of major collections such as the Museum of Fine Arts Houston,[4] the Tate Gallery in London,[5] Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Buenos Aires), Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art, The center for creative Photography in Tucson, University of Arizona, Sprengel Museum in Germany, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo in Brazil, Lima Art Museum in Peru, Colección de Arte del Banco de la República in Colombia and Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.[6][7][8][9][10][11]

Brodsky has represented Argentina in several international biennials including the Biennale d'art contemporain de Lyon [fr](2017-2018), Rencontres d'Arles (2018), Dakar Biennale (2018), São Paulo Art Biennial (2010), Valencia (2007) and International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (2000).[12][13]
Brodsky is a member of the human rights organization Asociación Buena Memoria.[14] He is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Remembrance park (Parque de la memoria),[15] a sculpture park and large monument with names and a gallery, built in Buenos Aires to the memory of victims of state terrorism.[7][16][17]
