Nominated artists | Announcements next week

Very soon we will know the artists running for PIPA 2014. These artists have been nominated by the Nominating Committee to run for the fifth edition of the Prize. Each member of the Committee nominated up to three artists, bearing in mind PIPA’s aim which is to award artists with a recent trajectory, with promising, consistent works that are already visible.
The names of the nominees will be published here at the website on three daily bulletins, from Monday to Friday ( 24 to 28 March).

Schedule 22-28 March

Check out the full agenda for this week of exhibitions and events related to PIPA artists, Nominating Committee members, Board members, MAM-Rio and relevant information about art in Brazil and abroad.

On view this week at MAM-Rio

(Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) Two new exhibitions this month at the MAM-Rio, apart from the permanent and long-term ones. They are the solo exhibition of hyperrealist sculptor Ron Mueck, who brings nine pieces never seen before to Brazil, three of them new; and the show “Sylvio:The Clash of Worlds'”, which opens this Tuesday, a collection with 150 pieces of famous 20th century artists such as Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Miró, Kandinsky, Man Ray and many others.

Individual exhibition by Sara Ramo in Montevideo

(Montevideo, Uruguay) For the setting of “Punto ciego”, Ramo uses old furniture found in the building which used to be the former prison Miguelete, a part of EAC that has not been refurbished yet, and will center her proposal in questioning the usual dynamics between the abandoned building’s ruins and the EAC museum area.

Solo exhibition by Marcius Galan in Rio de Janeiro

(Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) 2012 PIPA Prize winner Marcius Galan brings the exhibition “Como dobrar uma bandeira como desdobrar” and another thirteen pieces to Rio, inspired by the geometric paradox according to which we can infinitely fold an area into two equal parts.

“Aparição” | With Ana Paula Oliveira, Debora Bolsoni, João Loureiro, Matheus Rocha Pitta and Wagner Malta Tavares

(Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) Altogether there are about 20 pieces, between object, video, performance, photography and intervention, that make up the artists’s recent productions, from 2006 to 2014. Most of these works will be presented for the first time in Rio and some were made specially for this show. Curated by Fernanda Lopes, this new exhibition reveals some possibilities to think the sculpture in the production of contemporary art.

“Escalpo Islâmico” by Dora Longo Bahia

(São Paulo, Brazil) PIPA 2012 nominee Dora Longo Bahia shows, in a gallery, “Escalpo Islâmico” (“Islamic Scalpel”). The work originally created and presented during the 28th São Paulo Biennial, uses Islamic motifs on a background of red acrylic paint to weave a commentary about violence.

Kilian Glasner shows “Lugar Nenhum”

(Recife, PE) The artist from Pernambuco Kilian Glasner opens the series “Infinito and Obscura”, so far unseen in Recife, this Friday the 21st. Small and large scale drawings will be displayed, making up 15 pieces, 12 in oil pastels and charcoal on paper, three made with nankin on paper.
