Lenora de Barros is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on November 6, 1953 in São Paulo, Brazil. Lenora de Barros (Sao Paulo, SP, 1953) is a Brazilian poet and artist. She learned linguistics in the University of Sao Paulo before beginning her artistic career in the 1970s. She remains determined to explore the language using a variety of mediums, such as photographs, video, performance and installation.
In the 1990s she also served as the editor of photography in the 1990s at Folha de Sao Paulo as well as the art director of the magazine for sports Placar.
Between 1993 and 1996, Barros wrote an experimental weekly column for the newspaper Jornal da Tarde, in São Paulo, entitled “… umas”. She published numerous photo-performances, visual poems, and poetic texts, experimenting with graphic design, and proposing new relationships between text and image, as well as creating dialogues with other artists. She would use many of the initial ideas explored in “… umas” as the starting point for other artworks, going as far as calling the column a “laboratory for many experiences”. Lenora de Barros exhibited the columns in 2014 at Pivô, in downtown São Paulo. There, the artist filmed two new video installations, in which she plays checkers against herself and performs some of the texts written for “… umas”.
Her works are featured in the collections of the Museu d’Art Conteporani, in Barcelona, Daros Latinoamerica, São Paulo Museum of Modern Art, and the Centro Cultural São Paulo.
She was in 1983 when she presented poems in a video during the 17th Sao Paulo Art Biennial. The is the year Barros made Onde Se Ve the artist’s book with concrete poetry and photography that was written in the form of progressive fonts and layouts. The sequence of photographs showing one tongue moving using the keyboard of a typewriter signified the artist’s transition to a visual exploration of the linguistic theme as a pun on”lingua” – a Portuguese word meaning “lingua” – that in Portuguese can refer to”both “language” and “tongue”.
