Anderson Thives shows no signs of slowing down. Continuing his focus on mobility and innovation, his Galeria Provisória is relocating within the same neighborhood in Ipanema. He will soon debut his works in a new conceptual space that integrates health, beauty, and art. This is the first of many cultural projects that Thives intends to launch alongside new partners, with the goal of democratizing art and culture for diverse audiences. Before closing the current location, he is hosting a series of events through August 6. This Saturday, July 29, will feature a preview of the new exhibition "Favela," showcasing pieces named after communities such as Rocinha, Vidigal, and Complexo do Alemão. The series depicts the diversity of characters within these local communities and is also scheduled to launch later this year in London, where Thives will occupy a three-story building in the trendy neighborhood of Hackney.

Many years ago, when living in Rio was nothing more than a dream, Susi Sielski Cantarino (an Argentine who is more "Carioca" than many born and raised in the city) discovered what she described as a "charming corner in Santa Teresa," then known as the Hotel dos Descasados. Four decades later, Sielski Cantarino returns to the space—now renovated and renamed Hotel Santa Teresa MGallery—not as a visitor, but as a guest artist. Her solo exhibition, "Connections," is open to the public through the end of September. Occupying the hotel lobby, the show stimulates and stirs the viewer's senses, and the pieces on display are available for purchase. Using diverse materials, including earth, bamboo, and even Swarovski crystals, the artist produces works ranging from leaves with transparent inscriptions to sculptures nearly two meters tall. Industrial steel shelves are transformed into objects of desire that honor the "Objet trouvé." Childhood linens, delicately worked with lace and pins, feature the face of the poet Virgínia Victorino, who, as a woman and a homosexual, was largely rejected by the hermetic Portuguese society of her time. All the works presented are the result of the artist's hundreds of experiences. SHALOSH (number 3 in Hebrew), for example, from 2008, was created three years after she won second prize at the Florence Biennale.
