José Bechara - Fendas [Cracks]
11/24/2010 — 01/23/2011
Museu de Arte Moderna, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
The exhibition Fendas [Cracks] took place in the Monumental Room of the Museum of Modern Art of Rio de Janeiro (MAM-RJ) and it was celebrating twenty years of José Bechara’s career. The curator is Luiz Camillo Osório and it presented works from different moments of the artist’s trajectory, from his oxidized canvas to his most recent experimentations circling the House theme.
In the center of the Monumental Room, Bechara presented an audacious installation, which marked the exhibition. His series of suspended tables, entitled Run, originated from the unfolding of another one of this works with tables entitled Ok, Ok, Let’s Talk, which was shown in other institutions in 2006. In this sense, Fendas [Cracks] presented a career overview as well as the artist’s openness to new projects and future developments of his art.
