09 Jul – 20 Aug 2022
Portas Vilaseca is pleased to present “O que sobrenada, sobrenada no caos” ( Overnone, overnone in chaos ), artist Ismael Monticelli’s second solo show at the gallery, curated by Clarissa Diniz.
Monticelli presents a set of new works developed in the last two years, including paintings, sculptures, objects, installations and site-specific interventions.
Taking up the three floors of the gallery, the show is organized in a spatial narrative whose gloomy atmosphere arouses a feeling of melancholy and frustration, amid the celebrations of the bicentennial of Brazil’s Independence and the centenary of the Modern Art Week.
In this sense, “Overnone, overnone in chaos” is situated at the crossroads of utopias and dystopias within a time full of remembrances and collapse: an invitation to wallow in profanation, debauchery and criticism that are necessary for a life beyond the triumphalism and the celebratory tone of the staggering canons and their weary narratives.
