Max-o-matic=máximo tuja. Born in 1975 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I studied economics. I quit economics. I studied Communication and read about marx&engels and their followers. While listening to The Clash and other punk bands I fell in love with the fanzine culture and became a true follower of d.i.y. I did everything by myself and in a year or two became aware of the words" design", "layout", "computer", "absolute nonsence", "art" and "anti art" among many others. Fanzine took me to design; design took me to books and magazines. Then came internet and all that stuff.
Since 2002 I live in Barcelona. I illustrate pasting images. I try to create an imaginary world from torn pieces of the real world. I´m learning while i´m producing. Been part in some collective shows in argentina, spain, uk, belgium, russia, u.s.a. and japan. In 2006 i created the Latex for Fun project and edited the project´s book published by Gestalten in may 2007. I had my first solo show in Barcelona in march 2008 and the second in Falmouth (UK) en january 2011.
