Radical Conceptual Art revisited: A social and political perspective from the East and the South



(Author)

Name: André Cadere 

Place and data of birth: [1934] Warszawa

Place of work during the 60’s and 70’s (professional biography):

„Family moves to Romania after World War II. Attends Academy of Bucharest. Produces semi-folkloric op art. Arrives in France (1967), previous work becomes irrelevant in new context. Behaves like a squatter in the Western art world, sojourning around Europe and U.S. with his calling card, a wooden bar. Unveils his tool for the first time at Noele Toroni’s solo exhibition, Galerie Yvon Lambert, Paris, in 1970 for the last time on West Broadway, New York, in 1978, using it to enter the art world, making the story of his (its) insertion the true subject of his activity.”
