Alfredo Costa Monteiro
1964 Porto (Portugal)
Lives and works in Barcelona, Spain.
He plays accordion, electric guitar, turntable, electro-acoustic devices and resonant objects.
He studied sculpture/multimedia at the fine art school in Paris with Christian Boltanski. In 1992, he moved to Barcelona. Since then, his work stands somewhere between visual arts, visual poetry and sound. His installations and sound pieces, all of a low-fi character, have in common an interest for unstable processes, where the manipulation of objects as instruments or instruments as objects has a strong phenomenological aspect.
