For SP–Arte’s 2020 Viewing Room, Galeria Superfície presents a solo project by artist Vera Chaves Barcellos, in a wide-ranging selection that includes works conceived between the period from 1974 to 1996. With more than 50 years of career and a foundation in Porto Alegre named after her, Vera Chaves Barcellos is part of the generation of pioneering artists of Brazilian conceptual art from the 70s, having participated in the historical exhibitions of the famous curator and historian Walter Zanini (1925–2013) at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC-USP), as well as the representation of Brazil at the 1976 Venice Biennale with the work “Testarte” — which is presently available. The curatorial selection allows the viewer to verify the diversity of experimental and poetic languages that the artist developed throughout her trajectory, using the new means of each era: such as video, photography, postal-art and artist’s book.
