Collective exhibition "Tellurics"

A Nara Roesler Sao Paulo is pleased to present Telluric, a group exhibition curated by Ana Carolina Ralston that gathers 16 artists To investigate the profound force of terrestrial matter and the visceral relationships between the human body and the body of the Earth. The exhibition is based on the concept of telluric imagination, inspired by the philosopher Gaston Bachelard, to explore how art can excavate surfaces and touch what is densest and most vibrant in nature and technology. The exhibition proposes a shift from the eye-centric gaze, inviting the public to a multisensory experience that encompasses smell, hearing, and touch. As the curator states, "telluric imagination always digs deep, not contenting itself with surfaces." TelluricThe Earth ceases to be a passive backdrop and becomes a protagonist and political actor, transforming our ways of inhabiting it.

The curatorial selection establishes a dialogue between historical names in Land Art and contemporary voices, where matter ceases to be a support and becomes body and voice. Richard Long represents the tradition of direct intervention in the territory, while artists such as Brígida Baltar They present emblematic works, such as To bury is to plant., which reinforce the life cycle and rebirth of matter. The exhibition also features the presence of Isaac Julien, Not Vital and a work in amethyst of Amelia Toledo, chosen for its mineral and spiritual resonance. CL Salvaro's installation simulates the Earth's interior through an experimental passage of canvas and planting, evoking archaeology and memory, while the artist Amorí brings paintings and sculptures that narrate the metamorphosis of her body and her history. The spiritual dimension and indigenous transience are explored by Kuenan Mayu, who uses natural pigments, while Alessandro Fracta activates ancestral and ritualistic worlds by creating works with jute fiber embroidery.

The sensory experience is one of the pillars of the exhibition, driven especially by the work of Karola Braga, whose beeswax sculptures exude the aromas of nature. In the gallery's window, the golden structure Perfume, It releases smoke, mimicking the vapors exhaled by volcanoes, a radical expression of the planet's capacity to alter itself, reinvent its form, and impose rhythms. Cosmology and sound are also present with Felippe Moraes' neon works, which depict constellations of earth signs such as Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, and the sonic dimension of Denise Alves-Rodrigues. The journey is completed with the mobiles from Lia Chaia's "Organoid" series, Ana Sant'anna's imaginative landscapes, Flávia Ventura's materiality, and Felipe Góes' investigations into nature. Each work functions as a document of negotiation with the planet, where the ground we walk on also protests and speaks.
