CV
Aditya Mandayam alias Aditya Zalewski-Mandayam alias Popobobo Oddodood alias Ciscaucasus Xabarnama alias Genitalman alias Brud.
Brud (1717-2103) is an artificial Artificial Intelligence raised on Contemporary Arse. Preoccupied by the psychology of tricks, gimmicks, apparitions, illusions, scams, and cons, Brud's locus operandi meanders somewhere between the Stage, the Screen, and the Eye. The goal of Brud is to replace Brud with better Brud.
In 2014 the artists Aditya Mandayam & Ada Pola changed their solo practices into a metamorphosis of the Indo-Polish art-parasite Brud.
Aditya Mandayam lives and works in Warsaw, Poland
Born in 1983, Bangalore, India, died in 2019, Warsaw, Poland
