The artist\u00a0Rebeca Carapi\u00e1<\/a>\u00a0is participating in the exhibitions\u00a0\u201c\u200b\u200bFazer o moderno, construir o contempor\u00e2neo: Rubem Valentim\u201d<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cDireito \u00e0 forma\u201d<\/a><\/em>, both at Inhotim.

In \u201cFazer o moderno, construir o contempor\u00e2neo: Rubem Valentim,\u201d Carapi\u00e1 participates with the series of sculptures \u201cTopografias da mar\u00e9 soterrada.\u201d Informed by racial and environmental conflicts in the Pen\u00ednsula Itapagipe, Cidade Baixa, Salvador, her twisted iron sculptures take on the topographical design of the territory.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this exercise of radical imagination in which I intend to provoke a discussion about environmental racism, I have found a dialogue in the materials that have inhabited this territory in the past and present, especially iron and copper that have been a part of my journey since childhood when my siblings and I used to collect scraps of copper wires and plates from the streets to sell,\u201d comments the artist.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0\u201cDireito \u00e0 Forma\u201d<\/em>, the artist exhibits the installation \u201cCorpo El\u00e9trico 01: Raiva, suor e sal<\/em>\u201c, displayed for the first time at the\u00a03\u00aa Frestas \u2013 Trienal de Artes do Sesc Sorocaba<\/a>\u00a0in 2021. Comprising 30 sculptures made of solid copper on iron bases, Rebeca works with the materiality of metal. Considering copper as a conductor of energy, the artist proposes an invisible and spiritual dialogue between the artwork and the bodies that experience it: \u201chere, a space of attraction and repulsion is created, where you can leave something and also receive something. Copper has the ability to electrify, induce, and enable change and movement,\u201d highlights the artist.<\/p>\n
