A Verve it presents "Pale Horse and the Blood-Faith“, second solo exhibition of Igor Vidor in the gallery, accompanied by curatorial text by Marina SchiesariContinuing the research begun in his first exhibition at Verve, the artist turns his gaze to the War of Canudos and to the scenarios marked by regional, ideological, and territorial disputes that continue to reverberate in Brazilian history.
Igor Vidor explores mechanisms of power and oppression through his sculptures, performances, and videos. His works present signs of violence and social injustice deeply rooted in everyday life. The artist reflects on how these conditions repeat themselves, perpetuating symbols of violence that end up gaining new meanings. This allows us to reflect on how this friction contributes to a scenario of intermittent and seemingly unsolvable violence that finds echoes and recurrence in the history of Brazil.
In 2016, he was the first Brazilian invited to participate in the International Exchange Program by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul – MMCA. Vidor has undertaken artistic residencies in Brazil, South Korea, and Germany, and is currently participating in Pro Helvetia in Zurich, Switzerland. His work has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Brazil and abroad, and is also part of the permanent collections of the Perez Art Museum (Miami, USA), the Rio Art Museum (MAR), and Itaú Cultural.
