Chiara Banfi presents Viga Mestra, an exhibition on the upper floor of the gallery, an installation made up of adhesive vinyl and wood. The artist creates from the architectural structure of the space, deconstructing geometric rigidity with the use of organic shapes and lines. The roof beam line is stretched to wrap around the room, creating a new path for the viewer and an imbalance for the environment. A sound environment was developed for this space, in partnership with the duo Mínima.
This is the artist’s first exhibition after returning from her residency at Gasworks, in London. This residency was awarded first place in the Chamex Young Art Prize, at the Tomie Ohtake Institute, in 2004. Chiara also exhibited at Espaço ECCO in Brasília, among others.
