這次展覽將全方位地呈現西班牙巴塞羅那藝術家艾伯特-普塔的藝術作品。艾伯特以兩個不同的身份來進行創作：第一個是祖敘(1968–2000年)，隨後是伊夫魯(2000年至今)。作為一個雕塑家、畫家、數位藝術家、科學家和神秘主義者，祖敘-伊夫魯在歐洲超現實主義和現代的械裝置美學的影響下，創作出了大量風格獨特的作品。 展品將包括藝術家最具代表性的作品，如“Gran Leda”，“Djin Jesud”和“受害人”，以及“伊夫魯時期”的最新作品。一些大篇幅的數位照片新作，如“Eria” 和“Verudo”也將第一次展現在公眾面前。 祖敘-伊夫魯的作品形式多樣，不僅有像紙本、帆布和木頭等傳統媒介還包括創新的科技媒介，像電腦創作的作品、大幅數位照片、甚至軟體程式Tecura。Tecura是一個數位繪畫設備，參觀者可通過藝術家提供的工具和圖像來創作他們自己的作品。 Evrugo精神國度是祖敘于1968年創建的一個虛擬世界，以“出入境管理局”為代表。Evrugo相當於一個真實的國家，擁有自己的法律，使用自己的貨幣（Tucare）和語言（Asura）。這裡一切皆有可能，參觀者可在這個想像的國度裏思考身份、邊界和限度等概念。 歡迎進入Evrugo精神國度！
This exhibition provides an overview of Albert Porta’s (Barcelona, Spain) back catalogue. This artist has developed his art under the creation of two alter-egos, first Zush (1968–2000) and now Evru (2000-present). Sculptor, painter, digital artist, scientist and mystic, Zush-Evru has created a body of work with a very personal iconography, which feeds from European surrealism as well as the most up-to-date cyborg aesthetics.
Some of the artist’s most emblematic pieces, such as Gran Leda, Djin Jesud and The Victims, along with more recent work by Evru are to be found in these rooms, and new, large format digital photographs, such as Eria and Verudo, are going to be presented to the public for the first time. The work of Zush-Evru takes form in the most varied of ways: using traditional methods such as paper, canvas and wood, but also the most innovative of techniques, provided to us by the development of technology over recent years. Examples of this include computer-aided digitally generated works, large format digital photographs and the Tecura software program, which has been brought up to date for this occasion. Tecura is a digital painting machine that invites the spectator to create their own work of art based on the tools and images suggested by the artist. Evrugo Mental State is the imaginary state founded by Zush in 1968, and which is symbolically represented here in the Office of Flows, a space within another space, a single territory defined within the very walls of the National University Museum. Evrugo is a space parallel to the real world, with its own specific laws, its own currency: the Tucare; its own language: Asura; it is an imaginary territory where everything is possible and where we invite the spectator to contemplate concepts such as identity, borders and the limits that everyone seeks to place on their imagination. Welcome to Evrugo Mental State! 艾伯特-普塔，1946年出生於西班牙的巴塞羅那，1968年以來，相繼以兩個不同身份創作了大量的藝術作品——身份一：祖敘（1968-2000年）；身份二：伊夫魯（2000年至今）。 這位雕塑家、畫家、數位藝術家、科學家和神秘主義者深受歐洲超現實主義和現代機械裝置美學的影響，帶有神經質的創作風格令人過目難忘，在當代藝術領域獨樹一幟。作為西班牙當代最重要的藝術家，祖敘-伊夫魯在把新科技運用於藝術創作方面也做了頗多大膽嘗試和創新。 祖敘-伊夫魯的作品曾出現在西班牙國內外最著名的當代藝術場館中，2000年，他的大型回顧展在馬德里的索菲婭王后現代藝術中心(MNCARS)和巴塞羅那的當代藝術館(MACBA)舉辦；此外，他還參加過德國卡塞爾文獻展，他的作品曾在法國蓬皮杜藝術中心和紐約古根海姆美術館展出，紐約現代美術館（MOMA）也收藏了他的作品。
Albert Porta (Barcelona, Spain, 1946), has developed his work through the creation of two alternative identities, Zush, (1968-2000), a psychomanualdigital artist and Evru, (2000-present), an artsciemyst, that is to say: artist-scientist and mystic.
Zush-Evru is one of the most important Spanish artists of his generation, and stands out as a pioneer in the use of new technologies applied to plastic creation. In 1968 he created Evrugo Mental State for himself, an imaginary state that has its own currency, called tucares, its own national anthem and flag: he has even developed his own alphabet, the Asura. The works of Zush-Evru have been shown in the most important contemporary art museums of Spain; in 2000 large exhibits were dedicated to retrospectives of his work in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS), Madrid, and in the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MACBA) of Barcelona. Furthermore, he has been selected to participate in the most prestigious international exhibits such as Documenta in Kassel, in Germany. His work has been shown in the Georges Pompidou Centre, Paris and in the Guggenheim, New York and is part, with other centres, of the New York MOMA collection.
