Meet PIPA 2016 finalists, who will participate in an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro from 3rd September until 13th November, and will be competing in two categories: PIPA and PIPA Popular Vote Exhibition. The announcement is made by the curator of PIPA Insitute, Luiz Camillo Osorio in a video with the participation of the four finalists.
This week, we released three interviews with Pipa 2016 nominated artists Arissana Pataxó, Leandra Espirito Santo and Pedro França. Pataxó talks about the importance of her work in representing the indigenous image outside the village. Leandra explains how day by day reality mobilizes the compositions of her works. Pedro França talks about his difficulty in working with colours.
(Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) To mark the opening of the space, the members of the Arte Clube Jacarandá invited the art critic and curator Luisa Duarte to organize an exhibition that brings together videos, paintings, objects, sculptures by Afonso Tostes, Cadu, Chiara Banfi, Daisy Xavier, José Bechara, Mariana Manhães, Paulo Vivaqua, Raul Mourão and others.
(Vienna, Austria) “This video is a partnership between the Brazilian artist and the social organization Mães de Maio [Mothers of May], an association to support families and victims of violence that has been highly active in the social media denouncing case by case of this constantly silenced genocide.”
