Cabeça – Milton Machado [Head – Milton Machado] is the first retrospective of the artist’s work to mark his 45th year of activity. It includes over a hundred works – drawings, paintings, photographs, videos, and sculptures – produced between 1969 and 2014, many for the first time. Milton Machado belongs to a group of artists who started working in the 1970s, whose output is strongly marked by conceptual investigations and experimentation, with works characteristically organized into series of elements, tending to lend the exhibition spaces an installation-like feeling. This exhibition displays some important works, like Módulo de Destruição [Module of Destruction], a sculpture produced here in a new version (1990-2010-2014) for the rotunda, and a series of drawings, Conspiração Arquitetura (Architecture Conspiracy),addressing topics related to architecture and urbanism, exhibited for the first time in 1981 at Galeria Sergio Milliet, Funarte, Rio de Janeiro. Most of the works from the series are part of the Gilberto Chateaubriand/MAM-RJ collection, and are rarely seen by the public.
