Conceived especially for the Galeria do Espaço Cultural BNDES (BNDES Cultural Space Gallery), in a building considered to be one of the landmarks of Rio architecture of the second half of the 20 th century, Limitless is curated by Felipe Scovino and includes works by Amalia Giacomini, Eduardo Coimbra and Artur Lescher. Based on the curator and artists  relationship with the space, a landscape is invented, a place is revealed and a reality emerges.
The relationship between the urbanity of the bank building, a vertical structure that has taken over and occupies its space in the centre of the city, and the lack of connection between the gallery, and the landscape and its surroundings – even while it forms an integral part of them – were the points of departure for the conception of the exhibition.
“Based on two central disciplines – architecture and landscape – which are intimately linked to contemporary art, the three artists have created the idea of an invented landscape or the appearance of a place”, explains Scovino. “Somehow, like architects lacking precision, they have brought a limitless landscape within the white cube, the sacred space of the gallery”.

The problem of parking in the centre of São Paulo has existed since the 1940s. Between 1960 and 1980, 35 car parks, with mechanized parking, were built in the city. The largest, with over 600 parking spaces and up to 38 levels, are among the tallest in the world. Despite the migration of investment to new areas, with a total fleet of 7 million vehicles, the car parks remain in the historical centre as urban resources of great utility. The research carried out by Felipe Russo in recent years reveals the mysterious and inaccessible interior of these constructions, until then only known from their raw, phantasmagorical exteriors.

The exhibition, Garagem Automática (Automatic Car Park), presents, in novel form, a study of this urban typology, conducted in São Paulo. The 25 photographs taken in 4×5 format which comprise the exhibition, enable visitors to discover the intimate interiors of these buildings, which remain inaccessible to users.

In recent years, the photographer Tuca Vieira has dedicated himself to international projects of urban documentation. The exhibition, Atlas fotográfico da cidade de São Paulo e seus arredores (Photographic Atlas of São Paulo and its Suburbs) presents records of the city in its full extent, dividing it into 203 quadrants similar to those used in the former Guia 4 Rodas de São Paulo street guide. Since 2015, Vieira has travelled around the city and taken photographs in 4×5” format in each of these geographical divisions. This strategy has allowed him to create a representation of the metropolitan region through samples, uninfluenced by the photographer’s personal preferences. Of the discussions that the project provokes, we highlight the creation of a methodology to represent a vast territory, authorship and innovation in photographic projects, mobility in the metropolis, as well as issues such as the urban development of the city and antecedent projects, like that of Militão Augusto de Azevedo, a photographer from the 19^th century, whose work the museum keeps in its collection.

HO Produções e Eventos

In his History of Eternity, Jorge Luis Borges said in Plato’s Timaeus, we read that time is an moving image of eternity; and that it is just a chord that distracts no one from the conviction that eternity is an image made from the substance of time. This image, this coarse word enriched by human discord, is what I propose to historicize. Gabriela Machado, in the exhibition Things that fit in my hand produces herown narrative about time. A non-linear time, composed of labyrinths and sculpted by hands. The result of 3 years  work, the sculptures in this exhibition show the result of a formalization of the passing of time and how it can be represented based on a perception of space.

This exhibition heralds a new phase in Barrão’s output. The plurality of colors in his previous work has given way to a monochrome, and two new materials are investigated: resin and plaster. The work has taken on a more sober feel, which ties in with our current moment. This statement makes more sense if we recall that this was once a customs building, and therefore the port of entry for immigrants. The artist has installed a stall and other islands, which articulate different territories inside the Casa França-Brasil space. How can such diverse forms, desires, origins, and histories occupy the same space? Somewhere between a place of passage and a makeshift shelter, this territory/customs building has encountered in the artist’s objects a (utopian) metaphor for the world: in his inventive capacity to ally different forms that, separately, would be completely incompatible, like a jigsaw puzzle, these pieces fit together, share the same terrain, find their counterparts, and make sense. Ultimately, if we were to shift these procedures to a political world view, all social and political differences would be in better balance.

The exhibition reaches its fourth year of activities and cosolidates itself as a project of reflection and discussion of contemporary art and the transformations of urban space today.

Travessias understands art as a place capable of generating new and overflowing emotional and creative contacts with the world and among people. Two artists were invited – Regina Silveira and Eduardo Coimbra – to produce works from a close look at Maré. Alongside this invitations the project made for the first time a public call for proposals from artists not included in the art market circuit. From the 122 flow of incoming ideas and projects, two proposals were selected: “Corte estilo guilhotina” by Marie Carangi and “Interiores da Maré”, by the dou Antonello Veneri & Henrique Gomes.

Conceived in two chapters, for two cities, and for two unique spaces of modernist Brazilian architecture – the Museum of Modern Art (Museu de Arte Moderno), in Rio de Janeiro, and the Casa Modernista, in São Paulo -, the exhibitions of the artists Daniel Steegmann Mangrané and Philippe Van Snick are mainly intended to underline the dualism and simultaneity in the work of both.

If, for Daniel Steegmann Mangrané (born 1977), the artistic process takes place in the dialog between division and union, between geometric and organic forms, and between culture and nature, for Philippe Van Snick (1946), on the other hand, the conditions of material perception are determined by mathematical and arithmetical principles (especially in his early works), and more recently by the sensibility which, according to the artist, is a “form of mental perception”. In the work of both, the views and experience (physical, subjective, political) of the spectator acquire a provisional and fragmented character, and relate, kaleidoscopically, to the distribution of the elements in the surrounding world.

The two exhibitions bring together their own dynamic, and it is not necessary to see one to know how the other’s “story ends”. If they resemble anything, it would be an echo, the same sound heard differently.

Capital Memories presents a multimedia installation in which sounds and images interact, revealing aspects of the Brazilian’s capitals. The proposal to shuffle the established geopolitical division, diluting predetermined boundaries, has sounded out and amplified sounds, remixed and distributed in the pavilion. In this poetic, the emotional geography of these narratives is always in the foreground. The paths of this journey are like threads of memories that come loose and get tangled in new contexts.

Capital Memories records sounds, signs, rituals, feelings, places, habits, cultural traits and living spaces experienced by those born in the main cities of the country and lived their daily lives. These individual assets – memory sometimes fuzzy, emotional or critical – feelings of belonging to a place in time and space are socialized with the public revealing that the memory is dynamic. It is not stuck in the past, establishes links with the future and, above all, it is a collective force that unifies and form identities.

The exhibition 18th Century Rio, when Rio became the capitalproposes a visual path through which to enter this century of its history. In the 18th century Rio de Janeiro became the capital of the vice-kingdom of Brazil and effectively transformed into the city that we know today: a meeting point between culture and commerce, a centre of urbanity and the symbol of Brazilianness across the world.

From 18th century Rio, from the Rio of gold, baroque and rococo, from the slaves of Valongo and from the palace of the viceroys, survivals remained. Of the Rio that was destroyed, what is ungrateful heritage? Certainly it was in the 18th century that Rio ensured its aesthetic fame. The marvellous city unites natural beauty with urban beauty, an idea recurrent in adverts, political proposals and even criticisms. Also at that moment, the black population expanded, although always on the margins, and the natives, so important in the struggle for possession and foundation of the city together with the Portuguese, simply disappeared from records of Carioca development.

Rio de Janeiro is a place privileged by nature, but it is also a consequence of its complex and contradictory history. The exhibition seeks to enter these issues through MAR collection of works and other institutions such as Convento de Santo Antônio and Fundação Biblioteca Nacional.

Immateriality is a group exhibition held at SESC Belenzinho, curated by Ligia Canongia and Adon Peres, consisting of 22 works, signed by 10 Brazilian artists – Brígida Baltar, Carlito Carvalhosa, Fabiana de Barros & Michel Favre, José Damasceno, Laura Vinci, Marcius Galan, Marcos Chaves, Paola Junqueira, Paulo Vivacqua and Waltercio Caldas – and 8 artists from other nationalities – Anthony McCall (England), Ben Vautier (Italy), Bruce Nauman (USA), Ceal Floyer (Pakistan) François Morellet (France) James Turrell (USA), Keith Sonnier (USA) and Ryan Gander (England).

The exhibition shows the artists in question dealing with these two ways of relating to the work of art – the question of “matter” or “nonmatter”, which may or may not be a concrete materiality. Adon Peres comments on how the viewer will be faced with these two ways of artistic perception, “in the first case, it establishes a subject-object specific relationship in which prevails certain distance, different from the second, especially in installations where the viewer is literally immersed in the atmosphere of the work.”
