Lilia Moritz Schwarcz titled Vânia Mignone's new exhibition, which takes place from September 21 to November 1, 2024, at Triangle House, from "The balancing hope". Performed by Elis Regina, the song became an anthem of resistance during the Military Dictatorship in Brazil. The exhibition seeks to rescue the spirit of an era marked by challenges and dreams of democratization. Mignone's work, known for its fine and consistent lines, its ambiguous representation and its evocative visual language, continues to explore open and incomplete narratives, inviting the public to actively participate in the construction of meaning.
“The Balancing Hope” is not just a symbolic title, but a reflection on the very nature of Mignone’s work. The artist does not name her exhibitions, but Schwarcz decided to name her based on her perception of the works presented. The works in the exhibition include enigmatic figures, loose words and scenes that defy direct comprehension, encouraging an experience of deeper contemplation.
Highlights include sequences that reference the world of the circus and theater, with elements that evoke both spectacle and introspection. Words such as “Bear,” “Lion,” and “Tiger” appear in contexts that question domination and freedom, while other works present mysterious interior scenes, full of symbols and questions without definitive answers.
Mignone, with his unique technique of creating and destroying, of adding and repainting, offers the public a vision of a world where “complete incompleteness” is celebrated. His works, which avoid definitive conclusions, highlight the importance of questions over answers and personal interaction with art.
The exhibition “The Balancing Hope” is an invitation to explore subjectivity and ambiguity through art, reflecting on how our own hopes and fears intertwine with the creative process. It is an immersive experience that highlights Mignone’s ability to transform the seemingly simple into a rich and complex exploration of emotions and concepts.
