The exhibition was an intervention made especially for the Parque Lage. The work occupied from the entrance gate, crossed the space of stables and extended into the forest. The book was all organized by Modé, and is characterized by being among a catalog and what can be called an artist’s book, with photos that are not limited to a record of a show, but are authorial and were made in partnership with Wilton Montenegro.

Travessias [Crossings] is an exhibition that celebrates the encounter between contemporary visual art and community spaces, seeking more than an interchange of languages, styles, and authorial works. We want to hold up the favela as a reference for unprecedented aesthetic experiences of precisely the kind that foster creation and fruition without the boundaries of social and territorial distinctions that have sadly become so commonplace in our society. Travessias is about driving a process of constant change in the way favelas are represented as deficient and deprived by investing in their potential for creativity, solidarity, and emotional engagement. Maré is the space chosen for this new narrative envisaged for the favela.
Three exhibitions have been held so far, in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2017. Below, you can see the catalogues published by the project.

Consolidating their editorial work, in 2010, Automatica published the fifth title of the ARTE BRA collection. This time, however, with one difference: for the first time, the collection is separated from the work of the artists and takes a glimpse into the work of a leading Brazilian art critic, Moacir dos Anjos, from Pernambuco.
The book examines Moacir’s professional trajectory based on his most outstanding texts, which were produced in the last decades. Among the artists contemplated by the critic’s selective eye are the works of Antonio Dias, Cildo Meireles, Brígida Baltar, Chelpa Ferro, Efrain Almeida, Ernesto Neto, Gil Vicente, Gilvan Samico, Lucia Koch, Rivane Neuenschwander, Rosângela Rennó, among other artists.
