Immateriality
07/01/2015 — 09/29/2015
SESC Belenzinho, São Paulo, SP
Immateriality is a group exhibition held at SESC Belenzinho, curated by Ligia Canongia and Adon Peres, consisting of 22 works, signed by 10 Brazilian artists – Brígida Baltar, Carlito Carvalhosa, Fabiana de Barros & Michel Favre, José Damasceno, Laura Vinci, Marcius Galan, Marcos Chaves, Paola Junqueira, Paulo Vivacqua and Waltercio Caldas – and 8 artists from other nationalities – Anthony McCall (England), Ben Vautier (Italy), Bruce Nauman (USA), Ceal Floyer (Pakistan) François Morellet (France) James Turrell (USA), Keith Sonnier (USA) and Ryan Gander (England).
The exhibition shows the artists in question dealing with these two ways of relating to the work of art – the question of “matter” or “nonmatter”, which may or may not be a concrete materiality. Adon Peres comments on how the viewer will be faced with these two ways of artistic perception, “in the first case, it establishes a subject-object specific relationship in which prevails certain distance, different from the second, especially in installations where the viewer is literally immersed in the atmosphere of the work.”
