Discover the works of art that marked the 29th CASACOR Brasília

CASACOR Brasília 2021 has a special connection with art. This connection begins at the entrance to the exhibition, where the installation Galeria dos Heróis Invisíveis (Gallery of Invisible Heroes ) by architects Eduardo and Lilian Sainz is located. Considered the first of the 37 spaces in the exhibition , it pays tribute to professionals on the front line fighting Covid-19, with black and white photos of Breno Esaki on metal structure scaffolding. Throughout the exhibition, sculptures, engravings, photographs and tapestries parade through the spaces. Some professionals of the edition wanted to celebrate artists who connect with the culture of Brasilia . This was the case of Guilherme Bussamra and Elisa Fraga, from Guel Arquitetos, responsible for Casa Cosmopolita . In the environment, the duo has two paintings by the visual artist and landscaper Roberto Burle Marx , two engravings by Lucio Costa , a painting by Siron Franco and photos by the photographer Bruno Stuckert . In the Gallery space, designed by the trio Caroline Oliveira, Isabela Diniz and Olívia Campos, the environment is entirely dedicated to exhibiting the records of photographer Bento Viana . Among the canvases are symbols of the Candango, such as images of ipês, tiles by Athos Bulcão , cobogós by buildings of the Superquadras and the Metropolitan Cathedral of Brasília. At Bruno Pessoa's Fiat Studio , from Studio Ark, the garage becomes a large collector's space . Outside, the public is greeted by the Super Oxy sculpture with three steel heads, by José Bechara . The Rio native has works in collections private and public, such as the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro. Another highlight is the flow of the artist Vanderlei Lopes in polished bronze. In the Casa Breton space, by architect Thales Zago, paintings and sculptures share space in the 300 square meters that propose a reinterpretation of country houses. The paintings are by self-taught artist Jeffer Zion , while the sculptures are signed by Rômulo Mazza .

Casa Finitura, designed by the duo Hélio Albuquerque and Sonia Peres, received the technical jury award in the Best Use of Works of Art category . The art collection of businessman Francisco Telho was displayed in a way that highlighted each of the pieces. Curated by Betty Bettiol, the space enchanted everyone.

Sculptures and tapestries

Sculptures also take center stage in the spaces of the 29th edition of the exhibition. In Espaço Tempo , by Studio 2, architect Alex Claver and designer Wilker Medeiros, there is a sculpture by visual artist Armarinhos Teixeira , which joins several other works of art that make up the space, such as a painting by Lúcio de Carvalho and photographs by Cristiano Xavier . Tapestry was also the choice for the project by Palloma Meneghello Arquitetura & Associados, the group responsible for the São Geraldo Bathroom . The piece is by the artist Alex Rocca , who has emerged as a big name in the market. The Rio de Janeiro artist Carolina Kroff has two tapestry pieces in gastronomic environments in the exhibition. The works are present in the Aroma CASACOR restaurant, designed by architect Flavia Nasr, and in the Altas Gastrobar bar, a space produced by Studio Freijó. The pieces were created especially for the environments.
