Fundação Eva Klabin, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
For the fifth time, Automatica produces an exhibition for Projeto Respiração [Breathing Project]. Curated by Marcio Doctors, this project builds a bridge between the classical collection of the Fundação Eva Klabin and contemporary art. Nuno Ramos, one of the leading names of Brazilian art today, presented the exhibition Pergunte ao [Ask], an intervention that took over the entire space of the beautiful house-museum in Lagoa, Rio de Janeiro, where he intended, by using mirrors, granite and glass, to turn the rich collection of the foundation in on itself, in some sort of internal dialogue between the pieces and their reflections and secrets.
Each of the materials chosen by the artist defined the different sections of the exhibition and their titles: Mirror/Ask, Granite/Permit, Glass/Showcase. Nuno Ramos wrote a text specifically for each one of these sections.
