Nem só o corpo veste a alma

The group show ‘Nem só o corpo veste a alma’ (Not only the body wears the soul) currently on view at Tropigalpão celebrates the second anniversary of this multidisciplinary space in Gloria, a historical neighborhood in the centre of Rio. Tropigalpão has come to be a symbol of the downtown renaissance that has sprung in the area. The exhibition brings together the work of five emerging Brazilian artists: Alexandre Baltazar, Pauline Batista, Anderson Borba, Maria Konder, and Samara Paiva. The title of the show indicates a quest for possibilities of existence beyond the human realm. Within the selected works there are paintings, sculptures and installation proposals that are suitable for these universal questions in relation to the body, matter and human experience in the face of an abstract and impermanent universe.
