Amongst the participating artists are Gê Orthof, Luciana Paiva, OPAVIVARÁ! and Shima.
Lucia Koch at p.ar.c.
In urban cartography increasingly developed from political and economic interests, the concept of landscape is under contradictions about what it means to live in contemporary society. Lucia Koch creates places of estrangement.
Opening | Felipe Barbosa at EAV
The artist subverts the meanings of existent objects and their uses, always from everyday materials. For this exhibition, he approaches notions of movement and rest to reveal new abstractions.
Opening tomorrow | Debora Santiago
At the exhibition opening, there will also be the catalogue’s launch. The artist presents a series of drawings and watercolors and the videos ‘Baião’ (2008) and ‘Caderno Confete’ (2007-2008).
Last days | “Estranhamente Familiar”
The exhibition, whose name can be translated to “Strangely Familiar”, has works by PIPA nominees: Alice Miceli, Mariana Manhães, Rodrigo Matheus and Thiago Honório.
Closings at Galeria Vermelho
André Komatsu presents a series of works on which he employs a set of regulations taken from rational systems such as Mathematics, Architecture and Geometry with the goal of revealing the ambivalence of these systems and question their efficiency. Jonathas de Andrade reproduces the panel of a tropical modern house in real size, transforming the house’s tiles into fiber glass pieces with the same dimensions as the original
Thursday opening | “Lapso” [Lapse]
Felipe Cohen presents a set of eight new works – seven sculptures and an intervention. The artist uses everyday objects such as bottles and plastic bags interacting with classic art materials.
