Mônica Nador’s facade derives from the Paredes Pinturas [Walls Paintings] project where the artist collects drawings provided by residents of communities far from museums and galleries and then proposes the application of these drawings on the walls of houses in order to beautify the surroundings.
Nador selected drawings of houses made by residents from the Jardim Miriam suburb in São Paulo and also drawings from Beruri, a village bordering Rio Purus, an oceanic river in the Amazon region, placing representations of vernacular architecture in dialogue with the architectural design of Paulo Mendes da Rocha, responsible for the gallery project.
