New exhibition at V744atelier, which opens this Saturday (12) brings together works by Maria Paula Recena and Marcos Sari

The exhibition “Beabá” proposes a poetic pre-language

What implications are at stake?, when two artists with particular experiences and investigations propose to place their aesthetic universes in juxtaposition? What dialogues are possible and what paths in the field of art can such encounters give rise to?? Visual artists, Maria Paula Recena and Marcos Sari, that inaugurate the exhibition beabá, no V744 Atelier, not next day 12 from March, Saturday, to 17h, within the project “I invite that invites”, are not looking for answers to these questions.. For them, what matters are the possibilities offered by the aesthetic game, the incessant search for a possible poetic path, the discoveries that, individually, or two, this meeting can provide. What the visiting public will find is a unique experience, much more guided by the senses, by the playful, than objective answers, proper.

The collection of works for the exhibition Beabá is the result of the relationship of collegiality and friendship between Maria Paula Recena and Marcos Sari over more than two decades of production.. In the case of the present exhibition, the artists developed the proposal together with independent works that dialogue with each other, creating a set that approaches the concept of a pre-language, in a poetic approach which they called Beabá.

long coexistence

This dialogic relationship between Maria Paula Recena and Marcos Sari begins in Torreão, school and place for the promotion of contemporary art, active in Porto Alegre for 16 years, and extends to this day, involving many aspects of art and life. of art, design issues arise, painting, architecture, written, site-specific and language work, among others. "Of life, come friendship, the companionship and coexistence that, although not so often, is always very productive”, observe Recena. This includes family aspects at different times in their trajectories.. In this sense, the interventions of Bernardo and Natalia, in their differences, children of Recena, as well as from Caetana, daughter of sari, appear in the current production of the artists, directly, as well as the landscape in which their domestic lives are embedded: of the landscape without space, to the Pampa.

Landscapes are also built by language, either by the absence of the word (Bernardo), either through the acquisition of language through the word (Caetana), or by the presence of the double-plate language of the Southern Frontier. This identity, in some way, is shared by the artists, because it is the home of Marcos Sari and, in a way, constitutes the horizon of Maria Paula Recena.

In this poetic and intimate context appears Beabá, result of the process of working and thinking a poetic pre-language that can, in a certain way, artistic concerns that are manifested in the poetic interventions that will be presented. Drawings, objects, words, pressed graphite, sounds, grunts, landscape sketches and schemes, gathered and organized by the artists, transform the noun Beabá into a verb open to the flow of gestures.

The exhibition

The montage begins with the work of Maria Paula Recena that gives the exhibition its name: beabá. This is composed of a series of pendant objects in colored acrylic with barely legible inscriptions.. The room is made up of drawings from the series “Escapes on land”, by Marcos Sari; a drawing from the series “Landscapes without space”, by Recena, and a joint work called “Grandma's Table”.

“Landscapes” are made with colored pencils and markers. In these drawings, the artist deconstructs the Pampa landscape in drawings that have interferences or collages made with the appropriation of parts of Caetana's drawings. The drawing of the series “Landscapes without space” is a 10m, made by pressing/crushing graphite onto roll paper, in process that the artist only sees the entire work when unfolding the drawing, after ready, in accessible place. The “Grandma's Table” is an experimental work that will be developed together in the assembly.

complete the show, a production by Marcos Sari, called “4 elements”, in which certain soundscapes and babbling are heard in the reproduction of this piece of sound art. in outdoor area, a set of sticks in much larger dimensions than usual, by Maria Paula Recena, can be manipulated. Inside the word game idea, suspended in the hybrid language of the dry border between Brazil and Uruguay, a “charla” called “Charles Cruces”, by Sari and Mariana Dos Santos, will be made available for visitors to take a copy of this text-talk-invention home.
