the dynamics of artistic processes in the Brazilian Midwest
Museu de Arte Sacra de São Paulo – BUT/SP, institution of the Department of Culture and Economy of the State of São Paulo Creative, in accordance with all protocols defined by the competent areas, brings to the Room MAS / Metro Tiradentes the group exhibition “What is your cross?” composed of 70 crosses made by 51 artists from the Brazilian west center; a cutout from a private collection, under the curatorship of Daisy Estrá. “The collection builds an imagery narrative that ends up being synthetic of one of the most culturally rich regions in Brazil. (…..) Unusual materials, like horns, ox leather, animal hooves and bones, stones, ceramics, patch, eraser, fabric, plastic and many other materials talk to each other, forming a complex network of signs and symbols. This polyphony in dialogue reveals the artistic identity of the region ”, explains the curator.
The collection comes from an artist project Gervane de Paula, titled "Suffer With Me" what, starting from a personal need while making his own crosses, invited the other artists to respond plastically, resulting in a set of varied styles and narratives, where we can observe the creation and individual attitude of each one.
“What is your cross?” proposes to provide the public with a better understanding of the Brazilian Midwest by “opening the doors” of the cerrado in a poetic way, without falling into the stereotypes that confuse rather than clarify. “There is no esthetic line in the project and more academic productions can be seen, even urban art, highly challenging and politicized. O que have a, not set, is the creation of a kind of artistic RG of the region where they operate, bringing names from different generations to talk to contemporary times ”, concludes Daisy Estrá.
