Luiza Baldan - São Casas
10/10/2012 — 11/13/2012
Studio-X Rio, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
The exhibition São Casas presents a collection of recent works made at artist residencies. Luiza Baldan has created the exhibition São Casas at the Centro Carioca de Design/Studio X Rio, at Praça Tiradentes. Guilherme Bueno curated the show with twenty photographs and a video installation made at artist residencies between 2009 and 2011. These include Natal no Minhocão; Pinturinhas; De murunduns e fronteiras; Insulares; Marginais; Serrinha e Beira. For these projects made in residency, Luiza Baldan chose urban areas transfigured by architectonic construction, where she lived and worked the experience of inhabiting. As such the artist lived for some time in the Pedregulho Housing Complex, in Benfica; the luxury condominium, Península, in Barra da Tijuca; and in Rapozo Tavares Residential Housing, Rapozão, in Santa Teresa. Her projects do not document the experience, but are fictions based on daily events. Between residences, moves, erratics, and cities, Baldan inhabited the transit and the transitional, and her vision accompanies her journey, sometimes filmic, sometimes pictorial, but always photographic. The artist works with memory that relates to dwelling.
