Fernando Limberger - Relicto
10/10/2020 — 06/14/2021
Beco do Pinto e Casa da Imagem, São Paulo, SP
The exhibition Relicto concepted by the artist and landscape designer Fernando Limberger comprises three installations placed in Beco do Pinto and Casa da Imagem, spaces of the Museum of the City of São Paulo. Cinzas [Grey], Verde Infinito [Infinity Green], and Retomada [Recovered] dialogue with concepts which refer to landscape and time – past, present and future – from views and perspectives based on the contemporary.
In Cinzas, the artist shows a temporary site-specific consisting of nine “windows” in the form of plant beds into which he dumped a wide variety of urban materials – all of them gray – in an indiscernible jumble that mixes proto-construction with the rubble and debris of a city undergoing a contínuos process of demolition.
Verde infinito is a sculpture of ceramic vases painted green, rising skyward in a movement of vertical ascension, crowned by an ipê tree seeding.
In Retomada, time is treated in a concrete way: within the area of the Casa da Imagem’s garden, in a plant bed, various species have been planted and will grow for a period of five years. A wooden stool created by quiari follows the garden composition.
The exhibition text was written by the architect Guilherme Wisnik.
