As the only living artist from the Grupo Frente—a significant artistic movement established exactly 70 years ago in Rio de Janeiro and considered a landmark of the constructive movement in Brazil—César Oiticica will open the exhibition "Frente a Frente" at the Paço Imperial on November 13, 2024. Curated by Paulo Venancio Filho, the exhibition will present 20 works that are either previously unseen or have long been absent from public view. A large portion of these were created during the period when the artist was a member of the Grupo Frente, founded by Ivan Serpa (1923–1973) in 1954, which included prominent figures such as Abraham Palatnik (1928–2020), Aluísio Carvão (1920–2001), Hélio Oiticica (1937–1980), Lygia Clark (1920–1988), Lygia Pape (1927–2004), Franz Weissmann (1911–2005), and Rubem Ludolf (1932–2010), among others. The exhibition will also include recent works, providing the public with a comprehensive overview of the artist's trajectory.
On April 17 at 7:00 PM, Arquitectura en Corto invites you to the Fundación Arquia in Madrid (c/ del Tutor, 16) for a screening of "The Divine Way," an award-winning short film that pays tribute to the staircase through a journey across various classical and contemporary buildings. Loosely inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, the film uses the metaphor of the staircase to reflect on "the journey of self-discovery in relation to architecture and landscape," in the words of director Ilaria di Carlo. To discuss staircases following the screening, architect Santiago de Molina—author of Todas las escaleras del mundo, an essay reflecting on this essential architectural element from antiquity to the masters of modern architecture—will be present. He will be joined by historian and journalist José María Faerna, who highlights the renewed prominence of staircases in contemporary buildings recently recognized at the FAD Awards and the Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism. Rounding out the panel is Joan Roig, founding architect of the firm Batlleiroig, who will discuss the role of staircases in architectural history and their narrative function in cinema.

The work of Álvaro Siza is revisited through the lens of Pedro Cardigo, who returns to the black-and-white origins of early architectural publications, evoking “the wise, correct, and magnificent play of volumes assembled under the light”—as Le Corbusier would say. Step by step, both seek this light in silence, patiently revealing the (un)expected, the never-before-seen framing, the architect's precise vision, and the photographer's emotional record, or vice versa. The discovery of L'Architecture d'Aujourd'Hui in the early 1950s had a profound impact on Siza, instantly triggering the conception of his seminal works, like snapshots.
