Miguel Januário is the founder of the ±MaisMenos± project. ±MaisMenos± is an artistic intervention project, which began as part of an academic thesis in 2005 and later took on a life of its own. It offers a critical reflection on the model of political, social and economic organization inherent in contemporary urban societies. Carrying out a clinical dissection of reality that plays with the system of dualities intrinsic to the Western ideological edifice, the project’s programmatic expression is conceptually reduced to an equation of simplicity and excluding opposites: more/less, positive/negative, black/white. Under the banner ±MaisMenos±, the artist has produced thought-provoking and innovative work both indoors and out, in a variety of media – from video to sculptural installations, from painting to performance. Alongside the numerous illegal interventions in the field of public art carried out in several countries, the project has also been exhibited in individual and collective exhibitions in multiple contexts. His work is represented in several private collections.
