MAX AZEMAR
I'm an Artist and researcher from Barcelona, although my full CV states that I worked in the subway as a Train Driver, in an airplane as a Flight Attendant and currently I’m managing trees as a technician in urban arboriculture, while I may end up working as a crew on a ship. I'm doing my best to blur the gap between art and life.

My projects usually expand the artistic research through tools such as performative lectures, installations and actions linked to specific contexts. After generating an extensive research process on facts that may seem conflicting, I propose anecdotal actions that underline problems that can go unnoticed, as a result of personal worries and the inherent paradoxes in society. I activate "gags" that use the absurd to generate debates where those political, economic and social realities that I consider necessary to highlight are evident.
