The artists Cinthia Marcelle, Marilá Dardot, and Sara Ramo open the exhibition Solto,Cruzado e junto [Loose, Crossed, and Together] at Vermelho.
The exhibition features individual works by the three artists, who will also present, on the opening day, a collective piece that gives the title to the exhibition. “Loose, crossed, and together” are the three ways to dance the bolero. The work/proposition/entertainment uses the bolero, creating in the gallery an environment of a ballroom dance, a dance hall, with tables, lights, and a bar. The artists experiment with and propose the experience of this dance, a language that involves the relationship between pairs, the occupation of space, and the skill in dealing with timing and counter-timing, issues that permeate other works in this exhibition.
Among the works presented, “Capa Morada” by Cinthia Marcelle, a series of photographs that narrate a process of integration into another city. The work was carried out during the artist’s residency in the Very Real Time Program in Cape Town in 2003. Marilá Dardot shows, among others, “Midnight is also Noon,” an altered clock in which the hands move at half speed. The clock “opens” the exhibition, proposing to those entering the gallery a modified, slower time. Sara Ramo brings “Selva-me,” a video with the precise delineation of a rectangular visual field that is gradually occupied by an apparently random but carefully constructed composition, like a painting (the video is made backward).
The three artists, residents of Belo Horizonte, have worked together before, notably during the 2003 period when they were selected for the Bolsa Pampulha from the Pampulha Art Museum. The curation was done by the three artists, who also contribute a text about the exhibition.
Cinthia Marcelle and Marilá Dardot were selected for the Rumos Itaú Cultural in 2002, participated in the Saturday Performances, and Sara Ramo exhibited at the Panorama of Brazilian Art 2003 at the Museum of Modern Art in São Paulo, among other achievements.
