About Carlos
Bebeacua:
Carlos Rubens Bebeacua Rissotto was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, on 1 October 1954.
He studied at the School of Applied Arts and the National School of Art until he moved on to Skåne in Sweden.
After several years, Carlos began to draw attention to his Environments in southern Sweden.
· Lund 1982, 5000 black garbage bags at St. Hans Backar.
· Malmö 1985, Two black squares.
· Lund 1990, A group of 3 m high persons in plywood in front of Lund’s cathedral, etc.
He also made a movie about poems by Jørgen Nash and in 1983 he won a competition for decorating 25 meter of corridors in Lund hospital.
In Sweden, he had exhibitions at the legendary Galleri St. Petri and Arkivmuseet in Lund, Mariestadsmuseet, Galleri Arte and Sydsvenska Hallen in Malmö, Folkets Hus, and Riksorganisations exhibitions, amongst others.
In August 1983, Carlos moved to Copenhagen, and was soon involved in exhibitions, action-paintings and environments.
In 1988, he joined the art and cultural society Syntese, which he left in 1990 in order to create Fusion International together with Milton Blanc, Dea Trier Mørk, Annie Hedvard, Laura Horldof and others.
In 1991, Carlos, the deaf actress Gertrud Magnusson and the graffiti-maker Emil Klem started the International Laboratory of Culture.
The International Laboratory of Culture was officially invited to make an exhibition in the Danish Pavilion at the Expo 1992 in Sevilla, Spain. Here, Carlos’ painting ”The Madonna of Orgasm” was censured as pornographic. In protest, the group conducted an action-painting with their feet. Here Carlos wrote ”La Expo es un robo”, (”Expo is a fake”) which resulted in the entire group being arrested by the Spanish police and finally expelled from the Expo area.
The happening and its publicity resulted in the concept of ”The Church of the Madonna of Orgasm”, which Carlos began in 1996. This proved to be a self-promoting process that reached far beyond the boarders of Scandinavia.
In Denmark, Carlos had exhibitions at Eks-skola förlag, Charlottenborg, Den Frie Udstillingsbygning, Arbejder Museet, Roskilde Paleet, Galerie Knud Grothe, Hursanstalten i Roskilde, Galleri Stender, among others. He has made events and performances at The National Museum of Art, Nikolaj, the Circus building, etc. He has received support from the Danish Ministry of Culture, Copenhagen Kulturfonden, the EU’s cultural programme, and private foundations.
Today, Carlos lives in Lövestad, Skåne, and in Reus, Spain, and is active member of KRO and BUS in Sweden.
