Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro, RJ

The exhibition Antonio Manuel at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro, covers the recent and new production of the artist, with two installations made especially for the location, and also emblematic works of his career, setting an unprecedented body of work, never assembled before. This exhibition presents to the public a significant sample of the artist’s production, from the 1980s until the present day. For the exhibition, which occupies an area of about 1,800 square meters on the second floor of the museum, the artist recreates the installations Fantasma (1994/2013), Collection of the Museum – acquired through the Petrobras Visual Arts bidding in 2001 – Frutos do Espaço (1980/2013), Ocupações/ Descobrimentos (1998/ 2013), Sucessão de Fatos (2003/ 2013). Antonio Manuel is developing, especially for this show, two installations: Até que a imagem desapareça and Nave that uses water. About ten paintings from private collections and from the collection of the artist, produced between 1985 and 2013 and the video Semi-Ótica (1975) complete the exhibition. The artist says, “is a set that was never presented and that communicates, an installation dialogue with the other. A common characteristic is that all facilities are participatory”.
