Présentation

Amador e Jr. Segurança Patrimonial Ltda. [Amador and Jr. Patrimonial Security Ltd.], performative proposals developed by Antonio Gonzaga Amador and Jandir Jr., carried out in art institutions by the artists themselves dressed in security uniforms. The central problems arise from the relation between institutions like these and the people who work in their safeguards on a daily basis.
