Immaterial flows characterize the urban condition in the era of globalized information, intensifying its existing complexity. Temptations to return to the past, or a penchant for the radical or purely virtual, accompany the uncertainty of a landscape undergoing profound social transformations. To intervene in a perceptible way, a new cohesion is required, provided by a diagrammatic unfolding of the urban condition and a move beyond form-based urban readings. This new arrangement aims to reveal more than the simple sum of its parts.
Curated by art historian and critic Enock Sacramento, one of the leading experts on these modernist currents in Brazilian art, the exhibition marks the opening of the Sala Guido Arturo Palomba.
