SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Born in Lisbon in 1948, Julião Sarmento studied painting and architecture at the city’s School of Fine Arts between 1967 and 1974. From the 1970s, he expanded his practice to encompass video, sound installations and other installations. Moving between these media accompanied his investigation of representation, desire and its mechanisms. Sculpture also formed part of his exploration: First Easy Piece, made in 2013, employed 3D printing. His international career included documenta in Kassel in 1982 and 1987, representing Portugal at the Venice Biennale in 1997, and participation in the São Paulo Biennale in 2002. His work is held in collections including the Centre Pompidou, MACBA and MoMA.
