Chat: from 4 pm to 5:30 pm (Eva Klabin House Museum auditorium)
“Nise da Silveira, inscribed in the Book of Heroes and Heroines of the Homeland, pushed further the boundaries of madness. In the footsteps of Carl Jung, she gave to people with psychiatric disorders, through Art, the possibility of leaving the labyrinth of introversion to start communicating with the outside world. Today, Images of the Unconscious are part of our cultural heritage” Dimitri Ganzelevitch
The Eva Klabin House Museum inaugurates Saturday, 29 July, to exhibition Expressions of the Unconscious in the Dimitri Ganzelevitch Collection e cylindrical 27 unpublished works by five artists who, in different ways, manifest the unconscious through art.
The House Museum, which used to be a collector's residence, receives an exhibition curated by another collector, Dimitri Ganzelevitch, marchand e French photographer, art collector of the unconscious for more than 50 years. For this exhibition, Ganzelevitch selected works by five artists from his collection to occupy the temporary exhibition room of the house-museum of Lagoa, Rio de Janeiro. Just like Eva Klabin, Ganzelevitch inhabits a house-museum, the Santo Antônio Solar House Museum, in Salvador (BA), which has a collection of more than four thousand pieces.
“The invitation to Dimitri Ganzelevitch to curate this exhibition arises from the desire to deepen a subject that we have already explored in 2018, when we brought works by Arthur Bispo do Rosário to Casa Museu Eva Klabin, showing interest in the production of an artist with psychiatric disorders. We now bring a group of five other marginalized artists, also neurodivergent, and a different way to approach the theme: the look of a collector”, says José Pio Borges, President of Casa Museu Eva Klabin.
Expressions of the Unconscious in the Dimitri Ganzelevitch Collection aims to tension the established and widely accepted history of art, through works that are visually irreverent and uncomfortable for classical art. This tension manifests itself in the choice to include excluded artists, either for psychiatric conditions or social issues, like race and gender.
The exhibition features works in various media by artists, whose disturbances result in strong works with a striking identity: Joselito Jose Santos, Alicia Ribeiro Santos, Raimundo Jorge Falcão, Emma Valle and Eternit.
“The sculptor Joselito José Santos, de Cairu (BA), surprises by the African ancestral load, I would say atavistic, since he is a practically illiterate man with difficult access to information. The four works by Alicio Ribeiro Santos were found in an exhibition at the Lemos de Britto penitentiary in Salvador. The yearning for freedom is well defined. As for the mysterious Eternit, I met him when I was transporting in Terreiro de Jesus, also from Salvador, the three pieces of plywood in a clear plastic. After asking a few million for the works, ended up giving them away for a more reasonable amount. By Raimundo Jorge Falcão, whose fantasies have already been exposed in New York in the context of outsiders, we present some accessories used during carnival. Anyway, we have with the works Emma Valle, considered by many in Bahia one of the strongest artists in the local art scene — it is known that she began to create under the influence of the Argentine artist Eckenberger — another work understood as “outside the norms”. This exhibition aims to listen to the excluded in the most radical way, and encourage us to examine the limits by which a culture rejects something that will be for it the outside”, says Dimitri Ganzelevitch.
Expressions of the Unconscious in the Dimitri Ganzelevitch Collection evokes art and the injustice present in the experience of the excluded and, with them, brings a fiery instability to the house-museum. It complements Eva Klabin's rational and critically established collection with the production of works produced by those who expressed themselves through the unconscious and which have not yet been properly validated by the art system, although they are equally potent.
in the auditorium, as a complement to the exhibition, documentary screening takes place afterword – Images of the Unconscious, directed byLeon Hirszman and Eduardo Escorel. The project, which generated the trilogy “Images of the Unconscious”, brings the full interview of Leon Hirszman with the psychiatrist Nise da Silveira (1905 – 1999), Founder of the Museum of Images of the Unconscious. The documentary is shown from Wednesday to Sunday (from day 30 July).
To further mark the opening, the collector Dimitri Ganzelevitch, Curator of the exhibition, researcher and museologist Euripides Junior and the art critic and psychiatrist William Gutman, talk about collecting with a deepening of psychiatric issues and philosophical reflections related to the exhibited works. Mediation is by the journalist Leila Sterenberg. The chat is held from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm, in the auditorium of Casa Museu Eva Klabin, with pound interpreter. Subject to capacity.
