The names we give to the things
12/14/2019 — 02/01/2020
Galpão Bela Maré, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
The group exhibition The Names We Give to the Things is one product of this training process and forms part of the annual Bela Verão Program, which, since 2018, has provided a space for artists located in marginalized and underprivileged areas, thereby establishing a presence and artistic engagement in these fields.
The visual discoveries of the artists spurred to action in this time and space investigate the meanings produced by words that name artistic acts and processes, such as school, visual arts, artist, artwork, exhibition, and others, especially the uniqueness these artists carry in their life-stories, bodies, materiality, concepts and agency.
The exhibition space incorporates and imposes the drives and voices of these bodies in aesthetic modes that adopt strategies and tactics of a visual nature to deal with the material and the immaterial, along with other visual languages and forms of identity used to confront the pitfalls and challenges of being an artist in the contemporary world.
