Music, banners and stilts will open the exhibition “
Dialects of the Firmament ”, presented by
Anita Schwartz Galeria de Arte on March 2, 2023, at 7 pm. It is a procession with members of the Céu na Terra block that will feature eight flags designed and made by
Shen Özdemir , a Belgian artist of Turkish origin on his first visit to Brazil. The gathering for the procession will be at 6:30 pm at Praça Santos Dumont, in Gávea, Rio de Janeiro, and the route will take place through the streets of the neighborhood until reaching the gallery, on Rua José Roberto Macedo Soares, 30.
Created with foam, paper, acrylic paint, plaster and fabric, and measuring approximately 90cm x 90cm, two works “
Cabeças ” (2023), which metaphorically represent two members of the same family, without definition of gender or age group, will be in the exhibition . Their parades had no music, and the Céu da Terra block will be an
unprecedented event . The set of flags that participated in the opening parade will also be on display.
The Belgian artist of Turkish origin Shen Özdemir (1996) created a
carnival universe based on the legends of giants in Belgium and puppets in Turkey. In the series of works "
Karnavalo ", her intention is to create an
international human community through cultural syncretism. Their “heads” remind us, among other characters from popular festivals, of the traditional
Olinda Dolls .
"Dialects of the Firmament" brings together works by artists
Bonikta ,
Ivan Grilo ,
Jeane Terra ,
Rochelle Costi ,
Shen Özdemir ,
Thiago Costa , and
Zé Tepedino that address different worldviews, invented worlds, enchantment and the mysteries that transit between heaven and earth. . The exhibition
inaugurates the gallery's 2023 program and invites the public to imagine new possibilities for caring for an ancestral future, in connection with the field of art and spirituality, building paths and dialogues between divine and profane manifestations. The project of a Brazil invented is revised by the powers of the intangible, the primary expressions and subjectivities of memory, crossing the visible/invisible time and space of the modern world organized by rationality.
