Founded in 2008 by three artists from Rio de Janeiro (Lippe Muniz, Flávio Villanova and Leonardo Monteiro), Projeto Ato3 is an artistic experience based on the idea of collaborative production. After intense discussions about contemporary art and its problems, the three artists who are part of the project found themselves challenged to move their discussions from the theoretical level (reading and writing texts) for the empirical (the creation of works).
The result of the experience is a hybrid art production wich discurss about some of the most present problems in art and society today. The identity, the authorship, the role of art in society, the nature of the creative act and the fragility of human relations in the contemporary world, often identified as individualistic and competitive.
The artistic production of Projeto Ato3 occurs spontaneously and with active participation from all members of the project. Each artist collaborates freely with his ideas and his poetics. However, Ato3 is not a group of art. It is free art experience. All the artists related to the project have their own productions that are independent of Projeto Ato3.
