Conceived by the professor and literary critic Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda, the exhibit Blooks, Tribos e Letras na Rede (Blooks · Tribes and Words on the Net) highlighted the vast universe of the word that circulates in the internet, through interactive blogs, podcasts and sites, with the objective to map the literary creation of the new millenium. Examining 5 environments, the exhibit dives into the world of literary practice — which may include poetry, short stories, the interactive literature of the blogs, comics, graphics and cartoons — without failing to reflect the sense of excess characteristic of the net.

Curated by Paulo Herkenhoff, Atlas América (Atlas of the Americas) was held in Oi Futuro, Rio de Janeiro, between June and August 2007. The exhibition brought together 15 artists from different nationalities: Alan Michelson (EUA), Anna Maria Maiolino (Brasil), Damián Ortega (México), Dirceu Maués (Brasil), Donna Conlon (EUA), Fatimah Tuggar (Nigéria), Jennifer Allora e Guillermo Calzadilla (EUA e Cuba), Javier Tellez (Venezuela), José Alejandro Restrepo (Colômbia), Katie van Scherpenberg (Brasil), Kimsooja (Corea), Naiah Mendonça (Brasil), Miguel Angel Rios (Argentina) e Simone Michelin (Brasil). This collective perspective between countries and generations resulted in a selection of work that presented a mix of artists and media that offered the public a sort of critical and aesthetic mapping of contemporary production in the Americas.

Occupying the exhibit gallery, the theater and other areas of that space for 5 days, the event presented simultaneously a series of performances, theater and dance, video projections, readings, debates and book launches
With curators from different generations working collectively in each área, and an intensive schedule, the organization of the event involved numerous professionals and institutions expanding the working know-how of Automatica into other areas besides the visual arts.

Visita (Visit) was the fourth exhibition held by Automática for Projeto Respiração (Breathing Project) organized by Marcio Doctors in the Fundação Eva Klabin since 2004. This time, the carioca Paulo Vivacqua applied his spatial perspective in the use of light and sound, creating new environments and possibilities for the aesthetic enjoyment of the collection lodged in this house-museum.
The installation of the work involved the use of speakers, electric wiring, fluorescent lights, glass, mirrors and other devices, intended to create a subtle relationship between the work of Vivacqua, the household objects and the visiting public.

Conceived to last two years, the exhibition Nise da Silveira: Caminhos de uma Psiquiatra Rebelde (Nise da Silveira: Paths of a Rebel Psychiatrist) was installed in 2006 in the Museu de Imagens to Inconsciente. The exhibition brought together in three modules a broad biographical material of the psychiatrist’s revolutionary life, as well as the rich scientific/artistic collection of the work of the inmates of the former National Psychiatrist Center of Engenho de Dentro (now Institute Nise da Silveira).
The installation introduces, through photographs, works and texts, the remarkable professional life of Nise, the contact and definitive support for the first inmate artists beginning in the 50s, and for the “live museum”, which consisted of the collection of the Institute’s contemporary artists. These segments were joined to a detailed chronology of the trajectory of one of the greatest Brazilians of our history.

Estabilidade Provisória (Provisional Stability) was the third exhibition produced by Automatica for Projeto Respiração (Breathing Project), which is organized by Marcio Doctors and has been held at the Fundação Eva Klabin since 2004. As suggested by the title, the exhibition of this collective of artists consisted in actions of dislocation, intervention, and erasure, subtle and provocative at the same time, in the space of the house-museum and its collection.
Working with a series of banal elements of our daily life — such as pots, aluminum paper, cigarette butts, beer glasses, thermos bottles — side to side with sophisticated antique pieces, the installation of the exhibition was fundamental to allow the artists’ ideas to achieve their aesthetic and poetic intentions.

In the second partnership of Automática and Projeto Respiração (Breathing Project), Ernesto Neto presented in 2004 the exhibition Citoplasma and Organóides. Curated by Marcio Doctors, this project consisted of a series of occupations of the space by contemporary artists in the Fundação Eva Klabin. For this edition, this artist from Rio de Janeiro created a group of works and interventions in the environment of the house-museum.
Made out of different fabrics, such as lycra, cotton, poliamida, polipropileno, as well as spices, beads, foam and herbs, his sculptures were conceived to occupy the premises of the Foundation, promoting an intimate aesthetic relationship between the futuristic aspect of Ernesto Netos’s work and the historic state of the house of Eva Klabin.
