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.

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.

The exhibition, which has the name of the artist, Iole de Freitas inaugurated in October 2009 (and continued showing until February 2010). During a new phase in Casa França-Brasil, after a long period of renovation which finished in April of that same year. Located in downtown Rio, the exhibition of Iole offered an innovative intervention in the classic ambience of the building and its majestic space.
The work consisted of an installation a a system of lines made of steel tubing that supported twisted sheets of transparent polycarbonate which lead the public to experience a new relation with the space. Overlapping lines and planes, the work of the artist and the architecture merged in a common movement, reflected by nuances of light and tension.

Curated by Jair de Souza and Maurício Lissovsky, the exhibition A imagem do Brasil no tempo da Segunda Guerra (The Image of Brazil During The Second World War) took place at Centro Cultural da Justiça Eleitoral, Rio de Janeiro, from December, 2009 to January 2010. The objective was to present a multimedia panorama of Brazil’s participation in the greatest world conflict of the twentieth century.
The installation revolved around the contrast between three graphic registers of the period: the official photographs taken by The Estado Novo (New State), under the leadership of Getulio Vargas, the informal photos made by Life Magazine, in accordance with the North American perspective of integrating Brazil into the block of allies and finally, the popular point of view presented by the caricatures of Nassara and J. Carlos.
