The Museum of Contemporary Art in Niteroi open, on 13 September (Saturday), às 17h, the exhibition “Estates”, the artist Raimundo Rodriguez. The show features a large series, that has been developed by the artist since the year 2000. Works are jagged tin and ink, composing poems to be deciphered and retold. The exhibition is curated by Luiz Guilherme Vergara.

The production of the show is the responsibility of an artist, art educator, producer and project manager of art and culture, Zoé Marcia Ramos. According to her, “Raimundo Rodriguez has exceeded the static exhibition space of an art gallery and has been incorporating his works to the different productions where the field is to deepen their research”.

In many vehicles, such as Theatre, Carnival, Cultural Centers, Videos and TV, Rodriguez's creations beyond limits and fill gaps of expression. The Artist, accompanied by his staff, was responsible for the aesthetic end of the novel constructions “My Little Piece of Ground”, directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho. From “Estates”, Raimundo Rodriguez shattered floor patched where it developed the whole plot in the novel. The work was built into the architecture of the entire fictional “Vila de Santa Fe”, where houses, doors, walls, windows, altars, frames, cornices and many details were created from paint cans and discarded, in your hands, gained a new meaning.

The visitor will be able to perceive and explore the trace of the artist, who gave life to the fantasy, and dreams become real and imaginary, causing them to be confused and merge into new estates.

The total creative freedom Raimundo Rodriguez resulted in a vigorous work, without interference, who helped bring the public a vehicle of mass communication - popular - the language of contemporary art. Within moments of television drama, if they had the opportunity to try this new aesthetic, where TV can draw art to tell a story.

The exhibition will provide a deeper dialogue in a beautiful architectural space, it is the MAC Niteroi. Ethics and aesthetics can be observed both in the Museum, as for “Estates”. The shows helps reconstruct a new sense of things from the waste of the world, a new fable. A large estates in the MAC will make the audience think beyond the balconies of the museum.
