I. J. Pino: Tree

20 January - 1 February 2009

I. J. Pino / BIOoBIO

He made his primal scream in the wake of R&R, in the maternity ward of Pula`s ocher painted fasade hospital.

Throught the Sixties he begins move intensely to deal with Art, sculpture mainly. In the strangeness of those years he broadens his horizons going through and mixing the media ; entering the conceptual circle and performance world too.

During the Seventies working together with friends he creates a “mental spirit music”. In the specific soc-pol-cultural surrounding and influenced by Beuyes he opens the process “Social Sculpture”

During the Eighties he works mit alter-rock band GNJDD .After the group disbanded Pino continues to work as a producer/coproducer and tehnician, collaborating with groups/projects as Borgesia, KUD Idijoti, Messerschmitt,and various Pula`s new bands

At same time he goes on with Art work doing his project with guest members from SubVersIv group.

During the Nineties he works again on rock scene in the project Zhel ,while his early desire to join together all the media he realise through internationalmnew media projects : telephone concerts Netz/Mreža, Radio ORF ( Crossover…), interNet M.M @ P, Moment in communication.

Under the presure of specific soc-pol-cultural surrounding he makes the comeback of the “Social Sculpture” from the Seventies.

Ideas and money he makes in TESU shipyard Uljanik – service.
