Brutalism meets art in São Paulo pop-up exhibitions

11 Sept 2024  |  www.theartnewspaper.com  |  English  |  Exhibitions

A series of pop-up exhibitions in São Paulo, Brazil, showcases contemporary art within two Brutalist houses designed by architects Ruy Ohtake and Chu Ming Silveira. The exhibitions, part of the annual Aberto series launched by London-based art adviser Filipe Assis, aim to connect art, architecture, and design. The curators, including Kiki Mazzucchelli and Claudia Moreira Salles, emphasize the unique experience of viewing art in residential spaces. The Silveira house features works by artists who gained recognition later in life, while the Ohtake home focuses on contemporary artists with newly commissioned pieces. The exhibitions face challenges due to heritage restrictions but offer a distinct perspective on art placement.

Sustainable Design of Supports for Cultural Services in Outdoor Exhibitions

06 Apr 2024  |  dialnet.unirioja.es  |  Spanish  |  Outdoor Exhibitions

The research focuses on the sustainable design of cultural services, specifically for outdoor exhibitions, which provide an accessible and free alternative to traditional cultural services. The study compares the sustainability aspects of three different design alternatives for exhibition supports. The first uses changeable printed vinyls, the second involves backlit exhibitions with content printed on stretched textiles, and the third transforms the displays into urban furniture during content changes. The complete life cycle of the three services was analyzed, and environmental, economic, and social sustainability dimensions were quantitatively evaluated using global warming potential, execution costs, and labor time indicators. The study aims to integrate sustainability into service system design, presenting cases that illustrate methods for evaluating sustainability in cultural service proposals, with results indicating that different alternatives can be selected based on the applied criteria reflecting the importance of each sustainability dimension.

An international anti-LGBTQ movement is making headway in Turkey, where the government is presenting homosexuality and transgenderism as an imposition of Western imperialism

18 Oct 2023  |  Coda Story  |  English  |  Cultural Exhibitions

The article discusses the rise of an international anti-LGBTQ movement in Turkey, where the government, led by President Erdogan, is scapegoating the LGBTQ community amidst economic downturns and public frustration. The Yesevi Alperenler Association, a nationalist Islamist organization, and its leader Kursat Mican are at the forefront of this movement, which has gained momentum with the support of conservative Turkish NGOs. The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality organized an art exhibition titled 'Starting from the Middle,' which included LGBTQ themes and faced backlash, leading to a legal investigation. The article highlights the increasing influence of conservative figures on Turkish politics, Erdogan's shift towards more conservative rhetoric, and the potential for legislative changes against LGBTQ rights. The situation is compared to anti-LGBTQ movements in Russia and Hungary, with mentions of international connections among these groups. The article also touches on the personal experiences of LGBTQ individuals in Turkey, the cultural impact of restrictions, and the community's resilience in the face of adversity.
