Curator João Ribas speaks with artist Julião Sarmento. Sarmento, who lives and works in Portugal, was born in Lisbon in 1948. His work often deals with issues of complex interpersonal relationships and has consistently utilized themes such as psychological interaction, sensuality, voyeurism and transgression. Sarmento's work has been exhibited extensively worldwide in solo and prestigious group exhibitions including Documenta (1987, 1982) and the Venice Biennale (2001, 1997, 1980). His work is included in numerous public and private collections such as: The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Musée National d'Art Moderne Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, Holland; and the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo.
