Pinacoteca de S\u00e3o Paulo presents the exhibition \u201cCandida Hofer\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

German artist rethinks the use and re-examines the structure of spaces with great historic value through her photographs.<\/p>\n

Opening Saturday, February 18th, 2017, at 11 am | Visitation until May 22nd, 2017<\/p>\n

As from February 18th, the Pinacoteca de S\u00e3o Paulo, a museum of the Secretariat for Culture of the State of S\u00e3o Paulo, presents three large-scale works by German artist Candida H\u00f6fer in the second floor of the building set in the Luz neighborhood, adjacent to the Luz Metro and Railway (CPTM) station. The photographs depict two different cultural spaces in Brazil and one in France, here placed in dialogue with the museum\u2019s 19th century art collection.<\/p>\n

The show is part of the exhibition program entitled Di\u00e1logos com o acervo (Dialogues with the collection), designed to present works from other institutions and\/or contemporary artists and encourage a close dialogue with the Pinacoteca\u2019s collection. The program has presented the collections of the Museu Mariano Proc\u00f3pio (Mariano Proc\u00f3pio Museum), in Juiz de Fora (MG), a selection of paintings and photographs from the Museu Paulista da Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo (S\u00e3o Paulo City Museum of the University of S\u00e3o Paulo), works by artists Francis Al\u00ffs (Belgium), by Vasco Ara\u00fajo (Portugal) and by Rodrigo Andrade (Brazil). \u201cBy bringing together works from the Pinacoteca\u2019s collection and works from other periods or collections and forging connections between them, the museum challenges the visitor to construct new interpretations. This opens up new possibilities for looking at what is already familiar to us,\u201d explains chief curator Valeria Piccoli.<\/p>\n

The show presents photographs from the R\u00e4ume (Spaces) series, dedicated to the representation of public spaces such as museums, art galleries, libraries and concert halls. These images explore the way that architecture constructs solemn spaces that at once guide and direct the public\u2019s actions, and also contain and control them. \u201cThe internal spaces of historical buildings are portrayed by the artist with a degree of critical distance. This will provide an interesting counterpoint for the visitor of the Pinacoteca, who may become aware of the fact that, at that precise moment, they themselves are also standing in one such space, imbued and permeated with significant institutional history,\u201d says Piccoli.<\/p>\n

Considered one of the key figures of contemporary photography, Candida H\u00f6fer studied at the prestigious D\u00fcsseldorf Art Academy. Most importantly, her photographs investigate the structure of public spaces and the means by which architecture can manipulate human experience. At times, her images foregrounds the excess of ornamentation of a particular place and the impact this exerts on the observer; in others, it is the dominance of geometry and its ordering principle, which often goes unnoticed by those who walk around and pass through these spaces. \u201cH\u00f6fer\u2019s photographs invite us to reflect on the sensations that these spaces produce in us, and how we are influenced by them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Candida H\u00f6fer is open for visitation until May 22nd, 2017, housed on the second floor of the Pinacoteca \u2013 Pra\u00e7a da Luz, 2.
