Gabriela Machado - Things That Fit in My Hand
05/21/2016 — 03/06/2016
Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro, RJ
In his History of Eternity, Jorge Luis Borges said in Plato’s Timaeus, we read that time is an moving image of eternity; and that it is just a chord that distracts no one from the conviction that eternity is an image made from the substance of time. This image, this coarse word enriched by human discord, is what I propose to historicize. Gabriela Machado, in the exhibition Things that fit in my hand produces herown narrative about time. A non-linear time, composed of labyrinths and sculpted by hands. The result of 3 years work, the sculptures in this exhibition show the result of a formalization of the passing of time and how it can be represented based on a perception of space.
