To mark the 20th anniversary of the Carlos Scliar House Museum, the exhibition "The Artivists: Carlos Scliar and Cildo Meireles" will open on June 29, 2024, at 6:00 PM, bringing together the work of these two important artists for the first time.

Curated by Cristina Ventura, the museum's coordinator, the exhibition presents around thirty works—some never before seen—spanning from the 1940s to 2021. The show is complemented by participatory works inspired by the two artists. The exhibition, which will be free to the public until the end of August, is presented by the Federal Government, the Ministry of Culture, the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro, and the Rio de Janeiro State Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy through the Paulo Gustavo Law.

Waste is a key topic in the discussions regarding climate change, and the familiar call to reduce, reuse, and recycle continues to be a valid imperative that applies to everyone, and on whatever scale.

With construction and demolition waste (CDW) accounting for approximately 25% - 30% of all waste generated in the EU, it is a challenging area that is in desperate need of reinvention, when it comes to materials. As one part of a holistic approach, EPDM (Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Terpolymer) membranes such as Elevate’s RubberGard EPDM can help significantly reduce the environmental impact of buildings.
