ArtRio 2021
  • Marina Abramovic, Places of Power, Garden of Maitreya, 2013, c-print, 62.99 x 83.66 in, ed 1/7
    1/15
For this edition of ArtRio 2021, Luciana Brito Galeria presents a set of works that represent what is most relevant in recent research by the represented artists: Caio Reisewitz (1967, São Paulo), Hector Zamora (1974, Mexico), Iván Navarro (1972, Chile), Rafael Carneiro (1985, São Paulo), Regina Silveira (1939, Porto Alegre), Rochelle Costi (1961, Caxias do Sul) and Tiago Tebet (1986, São Paulo).

Discussions around the exploration and devastation of Brazilian forests have guided part of Caio Reisewitz's recent research. Works with overlapping images involving the Brazilian native forest reinforce the importance of preserving nature. Rochelle Costi, on the other hand, presents a production that explores common places in the memory of the collective unconscious through photography.

Hector Zamora is known for his research involving architecture, where he reinvents and reframes conventional spaces, problematizing historical, social and political issues related to work and the consumer society. His installations made from cobogó bricks, a common element in Latin American architecture, gained an extraordinary dimension in the site specific carried out recently at the Roof Garden at MET-NY.

Artists Rafael Carneiro and Tiago Tebet have painting as the main support for their research. While Carneiro, through technical rigor, develops a methodology for the transcription of images, where each one of them has its meaning diluted and reconfigured, Tebet prioritizes mechanical and artisanal methods to achieve spontaneous effects of colors and textures.

Iván Navarro's colorful and luminous installations engage in a dialogue with minimalism, provoking the senses while interactively attracting the viewer. In general, its production is imbued with political connotations, communicated through various strategies, such as titles, anagrams, appropriation and deconstruction of symbols, etc.

Luciana Brito Galeria is pleased to announce the show Art must be Beautiful, Artist must be Beautiful, underscoring the presence of women artists and reinforcing the importance of their research for the gallery’s program. The title is a nod to the homonymous work by Marina Abramovic while tersely summarizing the concept of the project, aimed specifically at presenting significant and representative works by the artists featured in the show: Fabiana de Barros (1957, São Paulo), Liliana Porter (1941, Buenos Aires), Regina Silveira (1939, Porto Alegre), Rochelle Costi (1961, Caxias do Sul), Marina Abramovic (1946, Belgrade, Serbia), and Paula Garcia (1975, São Paulo). Within this set, the work by Rochelle Costi, Coleção da Artista [Artist’s Collection], gains special meaning not only for representing a counterpoint to the work by Marina Abramovic, but also for catalyzing this selection conceived by the curatorship.

ArtRio 2014

In its participation in ArtRio 2014 Luciana Brito Galeria presents a solo show of one of the most important names in contemporary art world. Allan McCollum - Plaster Surrogates Colored and Organized by Andrea Zittel(photo) features works that were never exhibited in Brazil by North American artist who participated in the 28th São Paulo Biennial. Operating what the critical Rosalind Krauss called "an ironic rewriting of modernist art’s own attempts to reduce individual media to their very essence as genres, or aesthetic norms," the art of Allan McCollum has in the 'plaster surrogates' series one of its highest expressions.

 


The curated programmes of ArtRio 2014 will also be featuring artists represented by Luciana Brito: curated by Iranian Abaseh Mirvali, the LUPA show will count with works by Héctor Zamora among the large-scale pieces gathered there. And the SOLO segment, curated by Pablo León de la Barra and Julieta Gonzalez, will be featuring photographs by Thomaz Farkas.
