这次展览将全方位地呈现西班牙巴塞罗那艺术家艾伯特-普塔的艺术作品。艾伯特以两个不同的身份来进行创作：第一个是祖叙(1968–2000年)，随后是伊夫鲁(2000年至今)。作为一个雕塑家、画家、数码艺术家、科学家和神秘主义者，祖叙-伊夫鲁在欧洲超现实主义和现代的械装置美学的影响下，创作出了大量风格独特的作品。 展品将包括艺术家最具代表性的作品，如“Gran Leda”，“Djin Jesud”和“受害人”，以及“伊夫鲁时期”的最新作品。一些大篇幅的数码照片新作，如“Eria” 和“Verudo”也将第一次展现在公众面前。 祖叙-伊夫鲁的作品形式多样，不仅有像纸本、帆布和木头等传统媒介还包括创新的科技媒介，像电脑创作的作品、大幅数码照片、甚至软件程序Tecura。Tecura是一个数码绘画设备，参观者可通过艺术家提供的工具和图像来创作他们自己的作品。 Evrugo精神国度是祖叙于1968年创建的一个虚拟世界，以“出入境管理局”为代表。Evrugo相当于一个真实的国家，拥有自己的法律，使用自己的货币（Tucare）和语言（Asura）。这里一切皆有可能，参观者可在这个想象的国度里思考身份、边界和限度等概念。 欢迎进入Evrugo精神国度！
This exhibition provides an overview of Albert Porta’s (Barcelona, Spain) back catalogue. This artist has developed his art under the creation of two alter-egos, first Zush (1968–2000) and now Evru (2000-present). Sculptor, painter, digital artist, scientist and mystic, Zush-Evru has created a body of work with a very personal iconography, which feeds from European surrealism as well as the most up-to-date cyborg aesthetics.
Some of the artist’s most emblematic pieces, such as Gran Leda, Djin Jesud and The Victims, along with more recent work by Evru are to be found in these rooms, and new, large format digital photographs, such as Eria and Verudo, are going to be presented to the public for the first time. The work of Zush-Evru takes form in the most varied of ways: using traditional methods such as paper, canvas and wood, but also the most innovative of techniques, provided to us by the development of technology over recent years. Examples of this include computer-aided digitally generated works, large format digital photographs and the Tecura software program, which has been brought up to date for this occasion. Tecura is a digital painting machine that invites the spectator to create their own work of art based on the tools and images suggested by the artist. Evrugo Mental State is the imaginary state founded by Zush in 1968, and which is symbolically represented here in the Office of Flows, a space within another space, a single territory defined within the very walls of the National University Museum. Evrugo is a space parallel to the real world, with its own specific laws, its own currency: the Tucare; its own language: Asura; it is an imaginary territory where everything is possible and where we invite the spectator to contemplate concepts such as identity, borders and the limits that everyone seeks to place on their imagination. Welcome to Evrugo Mental State! 艾伯特-普塔，1946年出生于西班牙的巴塞罗那，1968年以来，相继以两个不同身份创作了大量的艺术作品——身份一：祖叙（1968-2000年）；身份二：伊夫鲁（2000年至今）。 这位雕塑家、画家、数码艺术家、科学家和神秘主义者深受欧洲超现实主义和现代机械装置美学的影响，带有神经质的创作风格令人过目难忘，在当代艺术领域独树一帜。作为西班牙当代最重要的艺术家，祖叙-伊夫鲁在把新科技运用于艺术创作方面也做了颇多大胆尝试和创新。 祖叙-伊夫鲁的作品曾出现在西班牙国内外最著名的当代艺术场馆中，2000年，他的大型回顾展在马德里的索菲娅王后现代艺术中心(MNCARS)和巴塞罗那的当代艺术馆(MACBA)举办；此外，他还参加过德国卡塞尔文献展，他的作品曾在法国蓬皮杜艺术中心和纽约古根海姆美术馆展出，纽约现代美术馆（MOMA）也收藏了他的作品。
Albert Porta (Barcelona, Spain, 1946), has developed his work through the creation of two alternative identities, Zush, (1968-2000), a psychomanualdigital artist and Evru, (2000-present), an artsciemyst, that is to say: artist-scientist and mystic.
Zush-Evru is one of the most important Spanish artists of his generation, and stands out as a pioneer in the use of new technologies applied to plastic creation. In 1968 he created Evrugo Mental State for himself, an imaginary state that has its own currency, called tucares, its own national anthem and flag: he has even developed his own alphabet, the Asura. The works of Zush-Evru have been shown in the most important contemporary art museums of Spain; in 2000 large exhibits were dedicated to retrospectives of his work in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS), Madrid, and in the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MACBA) of Barcelona. Furthermore, he has been selected to participate in the most prestigious international exhibits such as Documenta in Kassel, in Germany. His work has been shown in the Georges Pompidou Centre, Paris and in the Guggenheim, New York and is part, with other centres, of the New York MOMA collection.
