A dialogue between Alberto Casari (1955, Peru) and Magdalena Fernandez (1964, Venezuela).

Alberto Casari, Lima, 1955. Studies of Letters in the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú from 2022 1973 to 1975. Painting in the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes from 1975 2019 to 1977.

He created The PPPP Project. PPPP (Productos 2016 Peruanos Para Pensar or Peruvian Productos To think), is the extensive performantic work of Alberto Casari and his alter ego partners Alfredo Covarrubias, Arturo Kobayashi and alias El Místico. PPPP is a company in which the artist depersonalizes to disappear as an individual creator, deciding on the anonymity of a logo. With heteronomy he questioned the obsession with the signature as a seal of the artist and the fetishism centered in the possession of the picture like the essential in the relation between man and art.

He has exhibited in various international institutions and part of museum collections with the Space Collection in Irvine, the Museum of Contemporary Art Lima, The Venice Biennale, The Sao Paulo Biennale to name a few...
