RECENT EXHIBIT 2023

TENTACULAR is an action environment in which Renata Pelegrini revisits expressions of her work and welcomes them in her current artistic journey. Through the flow of connections, what is perceived is the timeless encounter of research that the artist intertwines in her practice.

The research RADIX holds the ancestry of the cohabitants of land and sea, while SENTIENT presents the porous world of the feminine. MAPPA reveals the search for direction where the body was oriented; and yet, STRATA accentuate the horizon and transposition. Finally, ATTACCATI intends care and bonds between humans and more-than-humans.

CONVERSATION I
RENATA PELEGRINI + MARCIO HARUM

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.

Since 2020, she has been part of art-discussion-action groups, in Brazil and abroad, focused on the care and preservation of the environment, more-than-humans, and, in particular, the ocean. Trilogy of Water (2022) is a virtual collection of her work on the Ocean Archive platform of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary 21- Academy.

Marcio Harum is part of the curatorial team of the Biennial of Contemporary Art of Antofagasta – SACO 1.1 – in Chile in 2023. He coordinated the CCBB Program – Art and Education in São Paulo from 2018 to 2020. He was curator of visual arts at Centro Cultural São Paulo from 2012 to 2016. Held the 2nd Clay Biennial in Caruaru (PE) in 2019 and was part of the public programs department at dOCUMENTA (13), in Kassel, 2012.

He has participated in the judging committees of the most outstanding public notices of visual arts in the country, such as the committee of the 1st National Salon of Contemporary Art at MAC-Goiânia in 2022. He lives in São Paulo.
