The exhibition presented the work of German painter Georg Baselitz, for the first time in South America. The artist is one of the most important names in the contemporary visual art world. The curator responsible for Recent Paintings, which was exhibited from December 2010 to January 2011, is Paulo Venancio Filho.

In an installation made with great care, the public from São Paulo could take a look at a group of 30 paintings developed over the last twelve years. During this period, the artist revisited the human types he created in the 70s and 80s, which constitute the central motif of his work, giving them a new face.

From the proposal of occupying the SESC Belenzinho area in Sao Paulo, the artist Caio Reisewitz developed an innovating work for his standards, where photography and video formed a large installation. After doing historical research, a space, which reproduced the geographical nature of the neighborhood where SESC is located, was recreated. The artist created the image of a large waterfall, which was put on a huge glass window, creating a backlight effect. A video in constant movement as well as a waterfall, which gives the impression of not being still. In this work as well as in others, it’s possible to notice that the artist is interested in the issue of what is and isn’t true and the illusions that may be created from that.

Ituporanga, which means waterfall in Tupi, plays with this idea. The artist was able to experiment and go through new poetic forms through his main work material, which are technical images. This installation was part of a proposal, which stimulates the contact with contemporary art, provoking a different audience’s (such as the SESC audience) sensations and imagination.

The exhibition Fendas (Cracks) took place in the Monumental Room of the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro (MAM-RJ) and it was celebrating twenty years of José Bechara’s career. The curator is Luiz Camillo Osório and it presented works from different moments of the artist’s trajectory, from his oxidized canvas to his most recent experimentations circling the House theme.

In the center of the Monumental Room, Bechara presented an audacious installation, which marked the exhibition. His series of suspended tables, entitled Run, originated from the unfolding of another one of this works with tables entitled Ok, Ok, Let’s Talk, which was shown in other institutions in 2006. In this sense, Fendas (Cracks) presented a career overview as well as the artist’s openness to new projects and future developments of his art.

Artist who has been exploring the relation between the individual and technology, in the visual arts and in everyday-life for over 3 decades. Tony Ousler brought the exhibition Projetor (Projector) to Oi Futuro Rio de Janeiro. The curator is Paulo Venancio Filho and it took place between November 2010 and January 2011, when Ousler installed several pieces remarkable, from a technological point of view.

Loneliness, fetishism, obsessions, hilarity, delirium and aggressiveness were among the disturbing psychological effects that the works brought to the audience. The intense dynamic between individuals and media processes is shown in its many facets, often with a tragicomic aspect as the central theme of the works.

CO-PRODUCTION

Automatica

The project Restraint was co-produced by Automatica and a Canadian company called Le Molior Group. The objective of this collective was to investigate what the Brazilian and Peruvian artistic contexts have in common. As well as analyze the contemporary art production through its cultural, social and political conjuncture.
The focus of the exhibition was the virtuality and the use of new multimedia technologies applied to artistic experiments and performance practices. For this reason, a new generation of artists, which have incorporated these new devices and are directly involved in this new dynamic of making art, marked by globalization disorder and political engagement, were gathered. In this sense, the choice for new medias would be a form of resistance and self-assertion for these artists, fighting against stereotypes and the fact that a large part of their work remains inaccessible, but inserted in a rapidly growing cultural scenario.

Set up at the pillars of the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro (MAM-RJ) during the first week of December 2010, the installation O Sonho de Darcy (Darcy’s Dream) is the artist Jum Nakao’s tribute to the anthropologist, thinker and professor Darcy Ribeiro. The work was part of the series of events Brasilidade (Brasility), sponsored by the Ministry of Culture (MinC)

Hanging from the ceiling until nearly touching the ground, a fishing net containing nine thousand transparent inflatables at different heights, constituted the work. Each inflatable carried one word of the essay O Povo Brasileiro (The Brazilian People), by Darcy Ribeiro. The public could simultaneously hear fragments of Darcy’s statement in many voices representative of the plurality of the Brazilian people through speakers which were spread around the hall.

GENERAL ARCHIVE is an initiative from many art galleries in Rio de Janeiro. It is a collective exhibition held every two years during the São Paulo Art Biennial. The large national and international public that attends this event and the proximity between Rio and São Paulo as well as the fact that many great Brazilian artists live in the city, are a great incentive for the exhibition.

In its 4th edition, GENERAL ARCHIVE fortifies itself in the national and international scene, as more than an exhibition, it’s a strategic action that aims to restore and reinforce Rio de Janeiro’s vocation as an important producer and disseminator of culture. The project intends to consolidate the reinvigoration (in progress over the last decade) of the market and institutions related to the arts in the city as well as reflect about the influence of the visual arts in the revitalization of urban spaces of the city, the economy, as well its importance in the social relations and a common dimension of existence.

Curated by Paulo Herkenhoff, Oi Futuro Rio de Janeiro hosted the exhibition Qualia, by Simone Michelin, between September and October 2010. The result of an intricate plot between technological devices and information coming from sócio-economical backgrounds, the exhibition presented an original way of thinking about everyday problems such as urban violence and drug use.

This innovative work was divided in two spaces, both introducing new technogical resources, such as laser printing on a latex surface, showing sequences developed from data on the number of casualties occurring in confrontations with the police in Rio de Janeiro, and 3D projection in mirrowed rooms, enlarging images of narcotic molecules (such as THC), which were viewed through special glasses offered to the public.

Revideo, held in the Oi Futuro branch of Rio de Janeiro between September and October 1020, was a unique opportunity for the public of Rio to watch a survey of the work as a vídeoperformer of the artist Lenora de Barros.

Curated by Alberto Saraiva, the exhibition showed all the vídeos made by the artist over 25 years. The videoperformances are representative not only of Lenora’s career as a pioneer of the genre, but also of Brazilian Art and its dialogue with other languages.

On Projeções

Opening in São Paulo and travelling to other áreas of the country, Automática produced the installation of the retrospective of Hélio Oiticica’s work in Rio de Janeiro. Between October and December 2010, the work of one of the most important Brazilian artists was shown simultaneously in Casa França-Brasil, Paço Imperial and a number of public places of the city.

Titled Museu é o Mundo (Museum is the World), the curatorial work of César Oiticica Filho and Fernando Cocchiarale brought together a series of works in order to expose his trajectory from the metaesquemas of the 50s until his last penetráveis (penetrables) and pieces done at the end of his life, still in 1980. The exhibition also included a seminar curated by Felipe Scovino, which reunited some specialists on the work of Oiticica.

Between July and November 2010, the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo presented the installation A soma dos dias (The Sum of the Days), by Carlito Carvalhosa. The title refers to the daily sounds recorded and reproduced by speakers in the space. The work was specially developed for the third edition of the Projeto Octono Arte Contemporânea (Octagon Contemporary Art Project), developed by the institution and curated by Ivo Mesquita.

Carlito’s work, composed of aluminum strips that hold large pieces of fabric wrapping the entire central space of the museum, combines the beauty of the installation with the physical presence of the music of the North American musician and composer Philip Glass. The acclaimed musician, was also present and gave two piano concerts in the institution.
