Angelo Venosa

07/26/2012 — 09/23/2012

Museu de Arte Moderna, Rio de Janeiro, RJ

The biggest solo exhibition of Angelo Venosa held today in his 30 year career, it occupied an area of 1,800m2, with approximately 30 works. The show had the character of “summary of the work” with a selection of pieces able to clarify the development of work over time, since the 80’s to today. The idea was not to mount a “retrospective” in accordance with conventional exhaustive way, but rather a concentration of sculptures showing the route of the work, both in what it suggests continuity, and on the changes of formal language operated during production. To this end, there was not a chronological distribution of the sculptures, but a succession of pieces from various eras and processes, united in tracing a sequential line in space, arranged in the very architecture of the museum.
