Zig Zag Sheriff

Zig Zag Sheriff
Zig Zag Sheriff is a co-production between two artists: Ivo Moreira & Astronauta Mecanico. This joint venture has started in 2010 and aims at combining the fields of action within which both artists have worked for more than ten years: drawing and painting + animation, video and live performance.
Zig Zag Sheriff is a organic and permeable project that wishes to adapt itself to the scenario were it is to be show. It is mostly a live performance project that includes video projection, animation, live painting/drawing, photography and music, either indoors or out on the streets. It is an exotic, sometimes awkward mixture of contemporary art, day-to-day life, the essence of celebration, partying and fun with a big dose of absurd humor.
