Pinacoteca Aldo Locatelli / Paço dos Açorianos
Praça Montevidéu, 10, Centro Histórico ­ Porto Alegre

On June 26, two exhibitions will be opened in the Pinacoteca Aldo Locatelli contemplating different facets of contemporary art. The exhibitions follow the principle of exposing the collection's own collection "ANOS 90: RUPTURAS / CONTINUIDADES" and, at the same time, giving the public the appreciation of artists selected by innovative curatorial projects.

The exhibition "UMA LÂMPADA NO PORÃO" (A lightbulb in the basement): photography as a means of expansion is curated by the Klaus W. Eisenlohr, Berlin and the Eduardo Vieira da Cunha, Porto Alegre.

Artists:
Chico Machado
Flavya Mutran

"The tableau as main medium for art works has been questioned by artists, since the 1920s. The reason for using expanded media for most artists is to communicate in a different way with the viewer of art. This also implies that the question is about the relation between the artist and the "others", i.e. the spectator, the recipient, the society and thus about the political reality of the artist. Early on, photography played a leading role in what is concerned with extended means of art production. The term "Expanded Photography" thus makes much less sense than for example "expanded cinema". For many artists, photography was the medium that allowed them to expand the classic fine arts. Furthermore, through the turn to digital media, photography has been challenged again and is under the scrutiny of being the means of social media experience.

We present art works that use photography as expansion or that challenge the term 'art photography'. The present exhibition takes place as the basement of the Paço dos Açorianos, with a unique atmosphere, which like the darkness of a wine cellar, also carries the shadow of its past, a prison for slaves. The works are illuminated by their own light.

Being the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, The Aleph is a tale that gives name to a book of Jorge Luiz Borges of years 1940. The concept of the exhibition creates a associative connection with the fiction of Borges, and to the luminous phenomenon of the transference of an image from one place to another one, which requires an environment of obscurity, as well as the imaginary consequences of this ancient physical experience of light. In the autobiographical tale, Borges lies in the dark of the basement, where he experiences a kind of trance. He describes the Aleph as a small glass sphere where fragments of all space would be present. From there, all the images would be projected and united. If all the places are in Aleph, there, in the basement, there would be all the lights. From the darkness, the possibility of enlightenment would arise."

It is an object that projects lights and generates shadows with random variations from the use of electronic and electrical devices. Without the use of digital technology, it was done with poor materials and low technology, and this work carried out in 2018 is part of the artist's research that transits between sound art and kinetic art since the mid-1990s. Chico Machado is artist and professor of the Department of Dramatic Art of UFRGS and also works with performance and videos.

There is no place like ... numbers? The phrase that names the images in this series represents much of the netizen's posture and its relation to the place. It is through the personalhorse 127.0.0.1 of personal computers that the surfer establishes his place, as a sort of interval in time and space, in which reality and fiction are inverted projections of the same image.

The series is comprised of photographic assemblages of visual fragments of these environments, designed in addition to RGB monitors, on mirror surfaces, walls, doors, ladders and book pages. They are mixtures of different looks that generate new combinations of colors and compositions, displacements, overlaps and appropriations.

Light is a fundamental element of the photographic act; but in addition to a physical phenomenon, light is a symbol. It is the clash between its phenomenological dimension, graphic representation and metaphor, that constitutes Estamento. The installation assumes that light is like a space, a place where its polysemy manifests itself.

Recovered Harddrives
When trying to recover them, I recorded the noise produced by its needles scratching the disks, so it can work well with the drives themselves and the red lights.

Rituação Laranjal 1 - série 1

Este trabalho parte de ações noturnas que desenvolvo para a câmara fotográfica para a construção de um desenho envolvendo carvão, areia e meu corpo em movimento.

Manoela Furtado

My poetics involves the presence of matter and body, where I collect abandoned materials and use them in performances in an experimentation of the contact of my body with these different surfaces, and is presented in the form of assemblies and installations that involve the materials themselves and the images of the performances that I did.

Photosensitive

http://cargocollective.com/nataliaschul
Photosensitive is a photo of my body with the word "visible" marked by a sunburn. The work referes to the process of chemical photography, by changing the color of the skin through the time of exposure to the sun. Here the digital image is printed on a fabric and becames "visible" because of the light.

A matéria e o mistério

It's a luminous installation composed of tree trunk and other materials collected in nature, creating an ambiance for small backlights with photographs of mushrooms that inhabit and transform this space. The theme of fungi is very present in the work of Tuane Eggers, who works mainly in the field of photography, generally focusing on themes related to the flows and impermanence of life.

Arte contemporânea na Pinacoteca Aldo Locatelli

No dia 26 de junho serão abertas na Pinacoteca Aldo Locatelli duas exposições contemplando diferentes facetas da arte contemporânea. As mostras seguem o princípio de expor o acervo próprio da coleção e, ao mesmo tempo, oportunizar ao público a apreciação de artistas selecionados por projetos curatoriais inovadores.
A mostra Uma Lâmpada no Porão: a fotografia como meio de expansão tem curadoria do alemão Klaus W. Eisenlohr e do porto-alegrense Eduardo Vieira da Cunha.

Ambos assinam o texto de apresentação:
"A imagem única e enquadrada, como tradicional meio para exibir a obra, tem sido questionada por artistas desde a década de 1920. A razão da escolha pela mídia, fotográfica ou pictórica, para a maioria das pessoas representa uma forma diferente de se comunicar com o espectador. Isto quer dizer que a questão transfere-se à relação entre o artista e os 'outros', isto é, o espectador, o receptor e a sociedade, refletindo, portanto, a realidade política do artista. Desde cedo, a fotografia vem desempenhando um papel de liderança no que se refere aos meios estendidos de produção artística. O termo 'fotografia expandida', entretanto, faz muito menos sentido do que o de 'cinema expandido'. Para muitos artistas, a fotografia foi o meio que permitiu expandir seu pensamento em relação às artes plásticas clássicas. Além disso, através da mudança para o meio digital, a fotografia, que mais recentemente se tornou 'fotografia de arte', novamente foi desafiada, e hoje se encontra imersa em meios de experiência nas mídias sociais.

Procuramos obras em fotografia, ou trabalhamos com fotografias que desafiam o termo 'fotografia de arte'. A presente exposição tem como lugar o porão do Paço dos Açorianos, com seu ambiente intimista e como a escuridão de uma adega, carregando a sombra de seu passado. As obras precisam trabalhar com a sua própria luz e conter luz própria.

Primeira letra do alfabeto hebraico, O Aleph é um conto que dá nome a um livro de Jorge Luiz Borges dos anos 1940. O conceito da exposição associa-se à ficção de Borges, e ao fenômeno luminoso do transporte da imagem de um lugar a outro, que requer este ambiente de obscuridade, assim como as conseqüências imaginárias desta antiga experiência física da luz. No conto autobiográfico, Borges deita-se no escuro do porão, onde experimenta uma espécie de transe. Ele descreve o Aleph como uma pequena esfera de vidro onde os fragmentos de todo o espaço estariam presentes. Dele, seriam projetadas e unidas todas as imagens. Se todos os lugares estão no Aleph, ali, no porão, estariam todas as luzes. Da escuridão, surgiria a possibilidade da iluminação."
