The connection between
art, architecture and
decoration is a highlight of this edition of
CASACOR Minas Gerais. A series of projects presented at the Minas Gerais exhibition
break with the traditions of white walls and offer an
immersive experience in the world of art. This strategy aims to bring visitors closer to
important names in art produced in
Minas Gerais and Brazil and strengthen the public's ties with artists and designers from the national scene. The artistic proposal of the exhibition is visible right at the beginning of the tour: a large intervention in the form of
a poster makes up the
Ticket Office 356 , designed by architect Isabela Vecci. The art, which extends across the counter and also across the walls, was created by artist and graphic designer
Preto Mateus .
Living Fragments, by Janaina Araújo, is another space in the exhibition
entirely dedicated to the appreciation of art . Curated in conjunction with
Galeria Hogar , the space presents a selection of pieces that combine different techniques, such as painting, sculpture, lithography and constructions from fabric scraps and sewing, signed by the artists: Will, Douglas Carlos da Silva, Natan Dias, Marco Túlio Resende, Renato Morcatti and Marco Vinhal.
There are also interventions created especially for this edition of CASACOR Minas Gerais. Architects Mariana Borges and Thaysa Godoy, creators of the Memorable Hotel Suite, invited artist
Aline Bergson to develop an exclusive work for the space, and the result was
the Sunshine artwork. "We wanted a sunset and she created the
Sunshine artwork, with fire agate, citrine and clear quartz. The result surprised us. It transmits a contagious energy", explains Thaysa Godoy.
The Avosidade Space, by Alex Rousset and Ana Vaz, is in itself a major artistic intervention. It all
begins with
Ana Vaz 's
textile installation , which covers the entire space. By rescuing the shapes of a uterus, the artist realized her idea of evoking an
atmosphere of rebirth .
Other
provocations appear in the space and complement the scene, such as the audiovisual installation by
Marcelo Belém , the work
Festejar as estrelas by
Gustavo Brito and the collection of vases developed by the team at O Ateliê de
Cerâmica .
In Cozinha Ítalo-Mineira, art is also full of personality and references. Architect Rafaela Bruna invited
Luma Lage , artist and former participant of MasterChef Brasil, to develop
a tile panel . The work was entirely hand-drawn, with themes that allude to the
gastronomic cultures of Minas Gerais and Italy .
Life Projects - Restaurante O Chef e O Cabra. Pedra, madeira, vidro e cimento aparente sintetizam o ambiente onde o prato, centro da experiência gastronômica, norteia o projeto. É o caso dos elementos suspensos no teto, círculos com várias funções. O espaço é guiado por uma curva externa que traz a identidade da marca e outra interna, de marcenaria, com nichos iluminados. Em destaque, a ilha móvel com estação de cocção e de refrigeração, que permite vários layouts. (Estúdio NY18/CASACOR)
Starting next week, the space will be occupied by artist
Raquel Saliba , a sculptor who presents techniques that evoke cave features; other guests will then present their own works.
