We are pleased to announce SPECTRUM, individual exhibition of Siwaju in Building 11 of A Gentil Carioca, in Rio de Janeiro. The artist's sculptural practice investigates the relationships between time and diverse ecologies. Based on the reuse of steel pieces — donated, collected and recycled during frequent visits to recycling centers — her works establish a direct link with Brazilian three-dimensional thought. Her sculptures articulate matter and Cosmos, visible and invisible energies, object and surroundings, sculptural body and space, organizing themselves in a spiral temporality, in a constant flow of expansion and retrospection, which activates Afro-diasporic knowledge.
“Interconnected ‘families of works’ unfold throughout the space, each with its own grammar and gestures, but all intersected by the desire to create zones of interference where past and future, beauty and liberation coexist in creative tension. Like a 21st-century blacksmith, Siwaju does not shape steel, but negotiates with its specters: the welds are born as seams between times, the polished surfaces return disobedient reflections, the whispers of matter, suggests the artist, lead us to escape from industrial logic.” — points out the curator Nathalia Grilo, author of the exhibition's presentation text, which is on display until August 9, 2025.
