EXHIBITION | Alex Flemming returns to Brazil after... EXHIBITION | Alex Flemming returns to Brazil after more than three decades living in Berlin. The exhibition "Alex Flemming Apocalypse," curated by Fábio Magalhães, occupies the Palacetes da Sé, a building designed by Ramos de Azevedo and inaugurated in 1919 as the headquarters of the Polyclinic and the Society of Medicine and Surgery of São Paulo, abandoned since 1939. The 85 years of deterioration now become part of the exhibition: in some of the rooms there will be no electric light, and the illumination will come from natural light entering through the windows of the ruined building. "I want to show precisely the opposite of the aseptic environment of the white cube," says Flemming. "Everything is fleeting and, one day, everything will be in ruins." The exhibition opens the visual arts agenda of the Palacetes da Sé, a new cultural space in the center of São Paulo.
