URBE - Mostra de Arte Pública - Bom Retiro, SP
Public art exhibition realized in November 2016. Artists: Anaisa Franco, Iara Freiberg e Guto Requena
URBE Mostra de Arte Pública - Edition 2
The second edition of the URBE - Public Art Exhibition was held in November 2016 and was curated by Alessandra Marder, Felipe Brait and Reinaldo Botelho. The exhibition was held in Bom Retiro, São Paulo, a neighborhood characterized by constant territorial transformations and a strong multicultural vocation. This second edition reinforced the essence of the project: the investigation of public space through contemporary artistic practices, having as a curatorial axis the idea of transversal city. Anaisa Franco, Iara Freiberg and Guto Requena were the three artists invited to create interventions based on the relationship between city, individuals and disputed territory, urban memory and on the way places are created, invented and reinvented by use. The objective of the exhibition was to reflect on the use of the city and to discuss new forms of occupation of the public space.
"Flutuação" Artist: Iara Freiberg
Iara Freiberg (São Paulo, 1977). His work is characterized by developing interventions that are intrinsically linked to architecture and to relations with space. Since 2002 he has participated in exhibitions in Brazil and abroad. She develops and participates in special projects and independent initiatives, carrying out interventions in the public space, in unoccupied buildings and unconventional places. He won the Funarte contemporary art award in 2013 and the Iberê Camargo scholarship in 2006.

Flutuação, by the artist Iara Freiberg, is an exercise that investigates the traditional volumes of the urban landscape.

Markings. drawn directly onto architectural surfaces operate as furrows, voids, and gaps, as provocations that traverse the traces of buildings, dismantling the composition of current urbanism.

This work leads to a spatialization that escapes from stability, from the determination of place and it suggests movement, displacement to intervention, a mixture of concreteness and abstraction.

The work acts between temporality and spatiality, reorienting the perception between depth and distance, proposing a positive void. It may seem like a dead end but it opens up to imaginary spaces, creates a place of new possibilities.

Flutuação deliberately deflects the idea of surface to another way of composing space.

Some photos were later reproduced in adhesive format and applied to the external wall of the pavilion, creating the perception of a "hive" of faces.

The project sought to rescue and map the multicultural origin of the neighborhood and its history of immigration in a temporary memorial built from the process of interaction with the public.

The project was completed by an activation of the rest of the furniture, through a reactive game of light and sound.
