Sobre o que existe ao redor [About what’s around]

THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD MOVES IN A HURRY.

Technology in constant development exerts a certain fascination on people, as if the existence of things depended on a “click” or a “touch” on the screens of cell phones, tablets or notebooks. The search for the new is constant, without pause. The speed of everyday life makes us fleetingly pass through sensations, emotions and the objects that surround us, giving them a banal character. It is on questions of banality and the fleetingness of everyday life that the artists in this exhibition focus on, with a critical eye on consumption, the observation of living or dead beings, the possibility of being or not being.

MOVE A DRAWING, PROPOSE A NEW REPRESENTATION OF OBJECTS AND ALSO DEAL WITH THE COMPLEXITY OF A VISUAL POEM.

The works presented here propose a reflection, a flexibility of the look in order to load it with other and different senses, using the different languages of art: painting, photography, sculpture, monotype, video, graffiti, installations. Decompose to compose, rearrange the visible or unnoticed parts; it is in this mystery of what exists around that the show’s proposal develops.
