Touring group exhibition features artwork by Sandra Cinto
(Penzance, Cornwall, United Kingdom) “3am: Wonder, Paranoia and the Restless Night” draws us to an hour of ultimate freedoms. An installation by Sandra Cinto presents galaxies of stars drawn on layers of unfurling cloth and some children’s spinning tops. In porcelain sculptures by Rachel Kneebone, tangled heaps of arcing limbs are charged with sexual urgency. Tonico Lemos Auad’s installation of suspended white lace orbs, called Sleepwalker, suggests a floating between-state.
Last days | “Wave” by Renan Cepeda
(Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) These are the last days to visit the photographer Renan Cepeda’s solo exhibition. For over two decades the artist has investigated the limits of the infrared radiation that makes up the spectrum of light.

Marcelo Cidade features in Mexican group exhibition focused on architecture
(Mexico City, Mexico) “The Theater of the World” gathers works by, among others, Nathan Coiley, Marjolijn Dijkman and Anri Sala.

Ever since the representation of nations at the World Fair’s from the XIX century, to the post-war urban renovation projects, buildings raise as artificial monuments that later become obsolete even when they disguise the urban reality.
