Carlos Ginzburg
Carlos Ginzburg is a conceptual artist and theoretician born in 1946 in La Plata, Argentina. He studied philosophy and social theory. Biography

Germano Celant, when writing about Arte Povera, invited Ginzburg by letter to join his movement. As a conceptual artist interested in digital art, fractals chaos and fractal art, Ginzburg created what he calls "homo fractalus" – a concept about microcosm totality. He has worked with the art critic Pierre Restany (with whom he developed the concept of "Political Ecology") and with Severo Sarduy who put him near Hokusai in "Barroco", one of the reference's books to Le Pli of Gilles Deleuze. He has lived in Paris and since 2005 works with the French art critic and artist Allaïa Tschann. Exhibition
