The Press Conference “As – Durães Rego Barki Gutmacher” features paintings, photography and pictorial objects in the new gallery space, which has doubled in size and now occupies 160m².
Sonia Salcedo del Castillo sign the curatorship:
“In the exposed set there is a lexical drive, of conviviality, which is ulterior to female rhetoric. It is a dynamic, possibly, legacy of experiments undertaken between the decades of 60-80, from performance to conceptual, passing through the idea of objectuality that leads us to the perception of a certain corporeal carnality, maybe borrowed from painting. sensuality of bodies, curves and winding shapes, of ambiguous crevices and dreamlike images… of mythical fragments, ancestors, erotic, natural…”, explains Salcedo.
“This is expressed in the voluptuousness of the sculptural archeology of Nelly's objects, in the pictorial luminosity of the tree plans of Durães, in the dramaturgy of virile images rehearsed by Barki, in the mythical pictorial of voids and colors built by Rego.”, highlights the curator.

By employing your own body for the initial plaster cast, which will later be turned into ceramic, Nelly Gutmacher search this body language, non-discursive language. Acts a bit like the coroner who dissects body parts to get to know you better: breasts, hips, stomach, skin, eardrum, hymen. And not content to isolate these fragments, collect in them, or with them, a lingerie, the bra, the panties, What are seductive attributes?, second skin or body. Eroticized by the body, these fetish-objects are archaeologically part of it, bearers of meanings. More: Nelly research, on body, the symbols of repression (or the release): key and ornament inlays.
