RENATA PELEGRINI + MARCIO HARUM - conversation I
Next Saturday, 06/17/2023, at 2 pm, Renata Pelegrini welcomes curator Marcio Harum for a conversation with visitors in the TENTACULAR exhibition, a solo show by the artist in exhition at Casa do Olhar Luiz Sacilloto.
Tentacular brings together works on paper, branch sticks and ceramics for the first time. Held between 2008 and 2023, these pieces form a set of situations and distinct periods of production. Tentacular is the name both of her artistic research, as well as the search and her incessant way of operating.
Renata is an artist, translator and teacher.
Interested in the female ancestry, she was in an art residency at the Centro de Investigação Artística Hangar, in Lisbon (2018). And from then on, she merged several of her practices into an intertwined milieu of relationships. Painting, drawing, sculpture and installation are part of this process that weaves through the subjective universe, fiction and a particular look at the planet.
