Laercio Redondo

Restauro

Ana Mas Projects presents the work of Brazilian artist Laercio Redondo (Paranavaí, 1967). The exhibition consists of two installations, Desvios (Detour) and Lembrança de Brasilia (Memory from Brasilia). It insists on Redondo’s conceptual and esthetic discourse, raising issues related to the construction of the collective memory, particularly with regard to Brazil.

The presented projects focuses on two prominent figures of Brazilian history architect Lota de Macedo Soares (Desvios) and artist Athos Bulcão (Lembrança de Brasilia). Through them, some questions are highlighted, such as gender, tensions between public and private spaces and the relationship between art and labour. Within this line of thought, architecture and urbanism are conceived as a reflection of social changes. Both elements are a key part to understand history, which could be questioned and revisited.

Some of his recent exhibitions worth of mention are O que acaba todos os días, held at Museo de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (MAM-RJ) I in 2015 and Past Projects for the Future, September 2016, at the Dallas Contemporary. His work can be found in collections such as Andrea & José Olympio Pereira Collection, São Paulo, Brazil, Gilberto Chateaubriant Collection, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Museu de Arte Contemporânea da USP & Pinacoteca do Estado, São Paulo, Museu de Arte Moderna, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Kunsthalle Göppingen, Germany.
