A set that mixes sculpture, installation and video reorganizes the gallery's ambiance. Following the procedures of her last solo show at Central, 'Mountains observe us in time-lapse' (2019), Manhães proposes changes to the lighting of the space and uses sound resources to compose the perception of an “invented forest”, as the artist points out.
'The outside of closed eyes' marks a change in the artist's practice, who, after a period of silence, is experimenting with new materials and formal solutions for the works presented. “My interest is to enter into something that has no name, that is neither installation nor sculpture, but rather, all of these things together,” says Manhães.
In this exhibition, Manhães focuses on the invention of organisms and their own spaces. “Beings organized in a circle in this room, as in a megalithic alignment, evoke the distribution of elements in a forest, where beings that we see and do not see live. Mystery surrounds; I feel that there is a ritual taking place, although I am unable to name it,” writes Ana Avelar, who wrote the exhibition’s critical text.
During the opening, which takes place between 15pm and 18pm, artist Mayla Goerisch presents a sound piece that is inspired by and engages with the exhibition 'The Outside of Closed Eyes'.
