Descripción de la Exposición
Smog problematize the tradition of artistic sculptural making, proposing a reflection about the issues related to the relationship between depth/shape (depth of the scene space), materiality (different visual weights) and the discursive capacity of the image (as a discontinuous and fragmentary element). This work resonates also on Brazilian modernist culture since it’s connected to the sense of a public artwork in an urban and architectural context.
