Fabio Morais presents My 6th Solo Exhibition an autobiography that covers four months on four pages of a diary. From the moment the exhibition was scheduled, in December 2007, Morais began to write a diary, in which he noted formal and subjective questions about the future exhibition. Subsequently, the artist chose fragments that form the four pages that make up the exhibition.
My 6th Solo Exhibition talks about art exhibitions that do not present a final product, a finished formal result, but that address the doubts that permeate the creative process of any artist. According to Morais, the exhibition represents a counterpoint to the idea of vernissage, a French word that means applying varnish over a painting considered ready. The vernissage was the moment when, finally, the artist had something ready to say. In the case of this project, the vernissage will not present a finished work, but rather the land from which it could have emerged.
