RIO DE JANEIRO.- A Gentil Carioca announces Geometria Crepuscular, a group exhibition at A Gentil Carioca Rio de Janeiro opening on Saturday, November 23, from 6pm to 11pm.
The exhibition proposes a reflection on geometry in contemporary art, exploring an approach that moves away from formal and exact rigidity to incorporate more subtle, sensory and subjective aspects. The group of artists establishes a dialog between geometric rigor and artistic practices, investigating issues such as time, memory and the future. This investigation takes place especially through the use of poor or recycled materials, as well as references to indigenous cosmologies and Afrofuturist narratives.
The idea of a "geometria crepuscular" (crepuscular geometry) points to the moment when traditional forms are dissolved, challenging notions of order and precision, embracing vagueness and shadows. Geometry is seen as a passage, an intermediate space between day and night, light and darkness, the visible and the invisible.
Taking part in the exhibition: Agrade Camíz, Aleta Valente, Desali, Dani Cavalier, Mariana Rocha, Mayra Carvalho, Novíssimo Edgar, Panmela Castro, Rose Afefé, Sallisa Rosa, Silia Moan, Siwaju, Vinicius Gerheim, Tainan Cabral, Xadalu Tupã Jekupé, Zé Tepedino.
The group show will open simultaneously with the exhibition Ègbé ọ̀run Ẹgbẹ́ àiyé, Kelton Campos Fausto's first solo show at A Gentil Carioca Rio de Janeiro. The night's soundtrack will be provided by DJ duo Anette Canivette (PE) and Myra Mara (RJ), from XÊPA. Both exhibitions will be open until February 1st, 2025.
