Melhor de Um [Best of one] is Leandro da Costa’s second solo exhibition at Vermelho. In the first, entitled Quarto/Sala (2006), the artist presented excavations almost imperceptible to the naked eye, on the walls of the white cube. The evanescent tone that characterized the installation, and that permeates da Costa’s work as a whole, points to the ephemeral and transitory characteristic of current art, suggesting not only the end of the object, but also the reinvention of artistic action.
Da Costa weaves his critique of consumer society through graphite or ink drawings, photographs, videos and objects taken from everyday life, re-contextualized family images, suggesting the relevance of the individual’s relationships with the surroundings.
