Ok, Ok Let''s Talk (about impossible dialogues) is the title of a new piece, conceived and produced especially for exhibition at the Octógono area of the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo. The solo exhibition (July 15 - September 11, 2006) is part of the temporary exhibition program "Projeto Octógono de Arte Contemporânea" curated by Ivo Mesquita. After this , the work has been shown at Paralela São Paulo 2006 by invitation of Daniela Vitoria Bousso, curator for this group exhibition and curator for Paço das Artes, São Paulo.
This new large scale piece follows in the line of "The House" series, which began May of 2002, and has been shown at prestigious Brazilian art museums and centers such as MAC Paraná, MAM SP, MAM Rio, Inst. Tomie Ohtake SP, Museu Vale do Rio Doce ES, Paço Imperial RJ.
Ok, Ok Let''s Talk uses pieces of domestic furniture, producing an installation-sculpture of marked formal rigor. 50 wood dining tables juxtaposed to each other creating a rigorously formal geometric field. A few of them are slightly tipped producing unexpected breaks in the steady landscape before us. Two chairs emerge facing each other but also distant, squeezed in by the surrounding tables, asphyxiated for lack of room. Ok, Ok Let''s Talk also suggests an experiment on difficult, close to impossible family dialogue, calling to mind a certain unease caused by the day-to-day play of vague intentions, born of an opressive domestic landscape that is at once affective and delicate.
