According to data from the 2017 Origin-Destination survey in the city of São Paulo, walking is most prevalent in the periphery. In Heliópolis, the city's largest favela, 37.7% of trips are made exclusively on foot. In Paraisópolis, the second-largest favela, this figure rises to 40.7%, while in Brasilândia, the eighth most populous district, it is 30.9%.
On Saturday, August 3rd, at 2:00 PM, the Galeria Pop Up will host a guided tour of the exhibition "Tempo, tempo, tempo..." Curated by Mario Camargo, the exhibition features works by Benjamin Rothstein, Beth Ferrante, Cláudia Lyrio, Katia Politzer, Laura Bonfá Burnier, Patricia Fairon, Mario Camargo, Marcelo Palmar Rezende, Nelson Sadala, Nora Sari, and Reitchel Komch.
Environmental degradation and reforestation are the themes of the solo exhibition by Rio-based artist Raul Leal, which draws from his observations of the Fluminense landscape.
“With his new diptychs, collage-drawings, wood pieces, and ‘spatial paintings,’ Chico Fortunato expands his vocabulary, demonstrating his customary freedom and predilection for certain elements and colors. He does not clamor for the banal spectacle; he seeks essence,” defines Luiz Chrysostomo de Oliveira Filho, who curates the artist’s solo exhibition, “Construtos.” Featuring previously unseen works produced between 2021 and 2024, the exhibition will be on view at Galeria Patricia Costa starting July 25. As a painter and furniture designer, he reveals through his precise yet delicate lines a preference for geometric figures, dominating the space with lines that articulate colors with a peculiar lightness. Among the most recent works, the collage-drawings stand out—a medium never before explored by Chico Fortunato in his long artistic career.
