Group exhibition “Dining Room”

Inspired by the work of Dorothea Tanning, shows a new stage in the exhibition space Attachments , another step in the gallery owner's avant-garde trajectory Marilia Razuk, in operation for over three decades

A Marilia Razuk Gallery, inaugurates a program of projects for its space located at number 62 on Rua Jerônimo da Veiga, which will now be called Anexo Galeria Marilia Razuk. To mark this new phase, Razuk hosts the exhibition “Dining room”, with the proposal of exhibiting works in a context that refers to the environment that gives it its name.

Referring to the work Hôtel du Pavot, Room 202 (1970-1973), by American artist and poet linked to Surrealism Dorothea Tanning, art consultant Cristina Tolovi and curator Luana Fortes conceived the exhibition by approaching the veiled aspects of domestic spaces. They present works by artists and designers, not clinging to separations between these two spheres of creation. As Tolovi explains: “The proposal is an exhibition in which different languages ​​dialogue, through a blurring of boundaries between design and visual arts.”

Luana Fortes highlights: “The exhibition is born from the work of artisans-artists-creators-designers that form a set of different languages ​​and forms of expression, seeking to destabilize what is understood as a work of art and object, preserving tensions within the artistic system itself and also within relationships outside it.”

Unlike what comes to mind when you hear the words “Dining Room”, the exhibition aims, like Tanning’s work, to present this “ambivalence, this ‘discomfort’ generated by the separation between what is alive and what seems immobile”, in the words of Luana, who continues: “Thus, the exhibition brings together artists from different trajectories and forms of expression to compose an environment that refers to a space prepared for encounter, but also traversed by tensions and gestures of control.”

Gallerist Marilia Razuk agrees and adds: “With this exhibition, we seek to open doors to new ideas, formats and curatorial narratives. We want to bring a fresh perspective, without the vices that are normally acquired over the years, as well as welcome experimental practices and innovative perspectives.”

Fernanda Pompermayer's work is among the highlights of the exhibition. 'Cosmic Ads', a new work by the artist from Curitiba, presents unusual forms through the transformation and combination of different materials, including glazed ceramics, glass, resin, gold and mother-of-pearl. Another important name in the exhibition is the visual artist Daniel Jorge, who exhibits works such as 'Ancestral'. His research focuses on the sense of belonging and new images of identity by working with materials that are fundamental to the Afro-diasporic imagination, such as soapstone.

The painting “No Return to Paradise” marks Giulia Bianchi’s presence in “Dining Room”. The artist has been developing strategies that allow us to investigate new possibilities of perception that go beyond the obvious, altering the visual scale, whether due to the lines and textures implicit in her paintings or due to the synesthesia they provoke. Ana Dias Batista, in turn, brings to the exhibition works such as “The Egg and the Shell”. Ana Dias Batista’s artistic practice often involves the appropriation of everyday objects, rearranging them in a way that questions their original functions and provokes new interpretations.
