Guilherme Gutman writes critical reflection about “The Spectacles, the absurd and helplessness in contemporary art”, by Luiz Camillo Osorio

Art Critic, Curator, Professor and member of PIPA 2016 Nominating Committee, Gutman writes a critical reflection about the text “The Spectacles, the absurd and helplessness in contemporary art”, written by PIPA Institute Curator Luiz Camillo Osorio, published exclusively on PIPA’s websites in August of this year. “As Helio Oiticica once told Lygia Clark, the strong visual artist has got no option, there’s always something that imposes itself as work to him. The artist is constrained to creation, to the bottom of his wishes, to what remains as the most idiosyncratic, most particular, even if at a high price”. Read the exclusive text here.

André Kotmasu participates in the project “Anything to declare?”

(Prato, Italy) The concept of this annual manifestation is the idea that we have today about borders, therefore an issue of our days very much but also discussed and controversial. It arises from an idea of the art director Fabio Migliorati and it can be summed up in the phrase “Anything to declare?” that can be found in every border. The solo exhibition, by André Komatsu, is an event to celebrate the opening of the Pecci Museum, in Prato, Italy. The Brazilian artist’s sculptures and installations employ architectural and design forms to critique prevalent social orders. A recurrent motif in his oeuvre, the concrete wall symbolizes the stagnant bureaucracy and roadblocks that create social imbalance, while his appropriation of modernist forms highlights the failures of idealism promulgated by past art-historical movements.
