Exhibition “Calendar”, by Felipe Rezende

A Park Culture House presents the exhibition “Calendar, "In Felipe Rezende, as part of their First Exhibition CycleThe exhibition, installed in Project 280X1020, is curated by Claudio Cretti, artistic director of the House, and text by Guilherme Teixeira.

Felipe Rezende (Salvador, 1994) employs techniques such as patchwork to construct an imaginary world about work. The method used to repair truck tarpaulins—marked by the dirt and pollution of the roads—is transferred to a six-meter-long billboard. The work proposes a reflection on the representation of working-class reality and the invention of fictions related to elements of daily work life.

The research stems from direct observation of work contexts frequently located along highways and in makeshift workshops next to gas stations, whose presence is both transient and marked by traces. By incorporating these procedures into the institutional space, the artist also reconfigures the medium.

As Guilherme Teixeira points out: “It’s a movement of appropriation: bringing this structure of public communication, the billboard that normally advertises, sells, promises, into the museum. Here, however, the billboard says nothing. Or it says everything that doesn’t fit into advertising.”

In addition to Rezende's solo exhibition, the 1st Exhibition Cycle includes the group show "Horror, Humor and Absurdity" (Galeria do Parque) and "Badauê," by Andrea Brazil (Gabinete). The cycle navigates the boundary between the real and the imaginary and articulates fabulation as an indispensable instrument for subverting current world configurations. Claudio Cretti states that this cycle seeks, through different languages, "to stretch the limits between the conceivable and the inconceivable, highlighting the potential of fiction to critically reflect on reality."

Finally, the Performances program will open on March 28, 2026, at 17 pm, with performer and dancer Maria Noujaim presenting “Lago”. Through the transposition of mythology into movement, the artist explores the hybridity between animal and human, taking as a starting point the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan.

The OI Exhibition Cycle is curated by Claudio Cretti and is an initiative of the Institute of Contemporary Culture (ICCo) and was made possible with resources from the Rouanet Law, Ministry of Culture, with sponsorship from Banco BV, Laranjinha and Banco Itaú.
