A series of four facilities, which refer to the complex
aquatic environment, will invade the architecture of Oscar Niemeyer.
Fundação Getulio Vargas is on BIENALSUR -Bienal Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo de America del Sur. The initiative connects 32 cities of 16 countries of the world, bringing together more than 250 artists and curators of the five continents with the idea of creating a global network of associative institutional collaboration to eliminate distances and borders and claim the singularity within the diversity.
From 14 November, the exhibition "Yingdong of Dipierro"it is sheltered by the forms designed by Oscar Niemeyer on the terrace of the Centro Cultural FGV. The building, steeped in the tradition of modernist abstraction, is comprised of pieces that engage in random conversations with the space that contains them.
Between the functional and the useless. Between art and ornament. Between abstraction and architecture. So can be defined the work of the artist Marcolina Dipierro. The Yingdong of Dipierro is a series of four facilities or situations which refer to a aquatic complex that includes trampoline, rest area, rays and locker room.
"It is a irreverent tribute, fresh and honest to the great architect Oscar Niemeyer and, fundamentally, to utopian aspirations of a total art that integrates, without distinction or hierarchy, art, design, architecture and urbanism”, highlights the Argentine artist.
With a model completely unheard of, the BIENALSUR seeks to monitor the pulse of the current demands from the participation of artists, curators, collectors, critics, journalists and the general public. With multi-disciplinary events that take place in various cities of the South America, the BIENALSUR allows entities and partner companies comply with the goal of promoting the social responsibility by means of the art and Culture.
