Carlito Carvalhosa - A Soma dos Dias
07/31/2010 — 11/07/2010
Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, SP
Between July and November 2010, the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo presented the installation A soma dos dias [The Sum of the Days], by Carlito Carvalhosa. The title refers to the daily sounds recorded and reproduced by speakers in the space. The work was specially developed for the third edition of the Projeto Octono Arte Contemporânea [Octagon Contemporary Art Project], developed by the institution and curated by Ivo Mesquita.
Carlito’s work, composed of aluminum strips that hold large pieces of fabric wrapping the entire central space of the museum, combines the beauty of the installation with the physical presence of the music of the North American musician and composer Philip Glass. The acclaimed musician, was also present and gave two piano concerts in the institution.
