Breathing:
Eyelid Concert | Three Quarters of Memory
09/11/2011 — 11/06/2011
Fundação Eva Klabin, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
The Breathing Project was created in 2004 and consists of inviting contemporary artist to intervene in the house-museum exhibition circuit, which is the Eva Klabin Foundation. The objective is that the collection and space go through new readings in order to be revitalized with new meanings.
In this edition, curator Marcio Doctors invited artists Daniel Blaufuks and Enrica Bernardelli. Although their works have very different approaches, both dialogue with time and are concerned with memory. Motivated by the idea of making cinema without film and reintroducing art into everyday life, Enrica makes us face the imaginary while creating a static and silent scene, where living but immobile bodies trigger a suspended reality. This feeling is further enhanced by large and thin, tulle curtains, which isolate the museum from the museum itself, as eyelids. Daniel’s intervention is a calmer one. His work was divided into four different pieces and spaces, which are uncovered along the course. It ends with a video that has the same title as the exhibition (a word game that is simultaneously speaking of the space occupied by the intervention and the impossibility of a complete memory).
