Exhibition brings a mix between art and game

Photo: Denise Andrade

From afar they look the same, but the approach can capture the differences. In the exhibition "O Jogo dos Sete Erros" (The Game of Seven Errors), Rodrigo Andrade brings versions of the works of Ranchinho, who had a mental illness and painting was one of the ways he used to stay calm. For this work, the artist had to learn the essence of Ranchinho, and follow the way of imitation in paint to create replicas. You can only find out how it looks different because they are exposed in pairs, side by side. Actually, that is the game!

Facts and Systems of Antony Gormley Still Being in Sao Paulo

Event Horizon can be seen on the top of some buildings on the city centre

The renowned English artist Antony Gormley, 61, has just arrived in Sao Paulo and is opening two exhibitions of his work at once. The Still Being is located in the CCBB and Facts and Systems is addressed at the White Cube.

Still Being

The Still Being exhibition is located in Sao Paulo downtown, and brings 27 sculptures in the shape of men made of iron and full-scale. Placed singly at the top of the buildings, quietly they transform the urban landscape of the region.

The exhibition includes four major installations alongside a number of works and other models. The Entitled Event Horizon* was recently seen in New York (2010) in the Madison Square. Some people were frightened because they thought that the sculptures could be potential suicides. The sculptor, who has placed his work on the ocean and also on the nature, have fun with this story and reveals himself impressed with the architecture of São Paulo. "It looks like a piece of geology, unconscious, made with clever use of concrete and graffiti. The buildings are like crystals," he says.

Since last week, Gormley, is in São Paulo to assemble his exhibition - which is curated by Marcello Dantas and then proceed to the Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia. His experience in the metropolis has been "inspiring," he says. He created in 1992 the Amazonian Field with thousands of tiny figures carved in terracotta - work done for the ECO 92 and displayed in Rondônia.

Facts and Systems

Winner of the Turner Prize in 1994, it is also contemplated in the city with the show Facts and Systems, prepared especially for his English gallery, White Cube, who came to attend the Art SP-2012 and rented a shed of 500 square meters near the Park Ibirapuera.

(*) The basic principle of this work is a conceptual idea that we are limited by perception. The body is taken from where it normally is and is exposed against the sky, looking at a horizon that we can not see why we are embedded in the city.

Zilvinas Kempinas brings another exhibition to Sao Paulo. Check it out!

The Lithuanian artist Zilvinas Kempinas arrives for the second time at the Galeria Leme with a solo exhibition of his kinetic sculptural installations created with fans and unspooled magnetic tape (check out the video made at MoMA last November). Despite that, he will also bring new pieces that traverse the boundaries between drawing, painting and sculpture.

These never before seen works are composed entirely of straight polyester thread that crisscross the surface of panels full of pins spaced all around it.

Each piece is titled after a star, and their radial vortexes recall models of space-time warped by celestial objects. The works also parallel the combination of mathematical abstraction and sheer wonder that underlies our conception of space. It's worth a visit!

About
Zilvinas Kempinas has had numerous solo exhibitions internationally, including Galerie Yvon Lambert, Paris and New York; The Garage Center for Contemporary Culture, Moscow; Baltic Center for Contemporary Art, Gateshead; Wien Kunsthalle; Contemporary Art Center, Vilnius; and Palais de Tokyo, Paris. His work has also been seen in important group exhibitions including ‘On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century’, MoMA, New York; Yokohama Triennale, Japan; Liverpool Biennale, England; and Manifesta7, Bolzano.
