MAM - Bahia Museu de Arte moderna
Estranhamente Possivel. Group show
Estranhamente Possivel is the first single-artist exhibition of Mauricio Dias & Walter Riedweg. The exhibition brings together an outstanding selection of audiovisual artworks produced all over the world, including the brand new 'Agua de Chuva no Mar', made throughout the 1-month art residency in Bahia, with the local and museum-neighbor community: Comunidade Solar do Unhao. Estranhamente Possivel includes a combination of six artworks made between 2002-2012: the video installations 'Deus e Boca' (2002), 'Juksa' (2006), 'A Casa' (2007) and 'Paraiso Cansado' (2008); the set of photographs 'O Jardim' (2008) and the unprecedented project 'Agua de Chuva no Mar', a work that offers a view of society's paradoxes and collective memory. A complete educational program had been prepared by the Bahia Museum of Modern Art to be shown to the public during the exhibition period. On May 19th, Jorg Heiser, editor of Frieze Magazine, will participate in a meeting alongside the artists and Stella Carrozzo, MAM-BA's director.
