CLAUDIO GOULART’S WORK AT ZIELINSKY SÃO PAULO
Zielinsky opened a new space in São Paulo, Brazil and presented a solo exhibition by Brazilian artist Claudio Goulart (1954-2000), whose work was developed in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where he lived for over 30 years until he passed away due to complications from AIDS.
Zielinsky’s new location is situated at Travessa Dona Paula 33, in a residential village of townhouses built in the 1920s in the Higienópolis neighborhood. Upon crossing the entrance gate, visitors are surrounded by plants, restaurants, cafés, birdsong, and the sounds of new buildings under construction in the ever-increasing vertical growth of the city. This village is home to residents, cats, art galleries, and various other spaces dedicated to contemporary thought.
Claudio Goulart’s exhibition is curated by Fernanda Soares da Rosa, researcher and investigator the artist’s work. Fragmentos da Memória is the second posthumous solo exhibition of Claudio Goulart in Brazil and the first held in São Paulo. With the aim of rescuing the trajectory and work of Goulart, the exhibition proposes a close look at the production of this important artist who, despite his international projection, is little known in the Brazilian scene. The exhibition delves into Goulart’s intimate relationship with memory, a theme that permeates his work and is present in images and historical references, as well as in fragments of When memory fails, we begin to invent, uncovering other meanings never thought of before.
Born in Porto Alegre in 1954 and based in Amsterdam since the mid-1970s, Claudio Goulart emerged as a prominent figure in the Dutch art scene. His presence was marked by intense activity, dedicating himself to the conception and realization of projects in local institutions, such as Time Based Arts and Other Books and So. Additionally, his work was recognized internationally, with numerous solo and group exhibitions in various countries around the world. From Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, England, and Croatia to destinations such as Iceland, Cuba, Costa Rica, Mexico, Japan, and China, his works transcended geographical boundaries. Collaborating with a diverse network of Latin American and European artists, Goulart created works in partnership with names such as Vera Chaves Barcellos, Flavio Pons, Paulo Bruscky, Ulises Carrión, Aart van Barneveld, Raul Marroquin, David Garcia, and others.
