Galeria Superfície is pleased to announce its new exhibition entitled “Reset:” second solo show by artist Betty Leirner held in our São Paulo venue, which this time hosts the show even though it is temporarily inaccessible to visitors.
It is in this context of physical and social isolation that the exhibition, composed of two works, takes place on the two floors of the gallery. Denominated by the artist as subjectobjects, the works entitled W and R.O.W present themselves as essence-work, an artwork that is independent of physical contemplation, which makes particular sense in face of the moment we live in. A subjectobject made of words that produce echoing sounds, reverberate, with its images, letters, with what is said or with what is interdict.
Conceived in Europe between the 1990s and 2000s, with a word/message found printed on an English biscuit box (the oldest continuously operating biscuit factory in the world, named biscuit makers for Queen Victoria in 1841), the works W and R.O.W manifest and become visible, at a precise moment, of possible revisions, and, in the midst of a world of excesses, they make themselves present as words/objects floating in the silence of our space.
