LIA D CASTRO’S FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION AT MASP
The exhibition Lia D Castro: Everywhere and Nowhere, at MASP – Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand is the artist’s first solo show in a museum, and brings together 36 works, most of which are figurative paintings. The selected works explore scenarios where affection, dialogue and imagination become important tools for social transformation.

The title of the exhibition stems from the historical absence of minority groups in positions of power and decision-making—nowhere—while their presence and workforce make up the foundations that sustain society—everywhere. Curated by Isabella Rjeille, curator, MASP, and Glaucea Helena de Britto, assistant curator, MASP, the show features the artist’s entire body of work.
Lia D Castro uses prostitution as a research tool and develops her production from encounters with her clients—mostly white, heterosexual, cisgender men, of middle and upper class—to subvert relationships of power or violence that may arise between them, merging life history and social history. Themes such as masculinity and whiteness, as well as affection, care and responsibility, are addressed on these occasions and result in collaborative paintings, prints, drawings, photographs and installations.
In such moments, she talks to these men and invites them to reflect: when did you realize you were White? And when did you discover yourself to be a cisgender, heterosexual? “Questions to which the artist does not seek a definitive answer, but rather to provoke a position within the racial, gender and sexuality debate,” says curator Isabella Rjeille.
Lia D Castro’s conversations with these men are permeated by references to important Black intellectuals such as Frantz Fanon, Toni Morrison, Conceição Evaristo and Bell Hooks. Phrases taken from the books of these authors, read by the artist in the company of her collaborators, are inserted onto the canvases and blend in with the gestures, scenes, colors and characters. Lia D Castro’s work becomes a place of encounter, clash and friction, in which actions, images and imaginaries are debated, revised and transformed. The artist often inserts references to other works she has done, including them in a different context and, consequently, assigning new meanings and readings to these images.
“Based on Frantz Fanon’s notion that racism is a repetition, I propose countering it with the repetition of images. Since images build culture and memory, by placing one work inside another, I am trying to create new aesthetic references,” says the artist.
Lia D Castro: Everywhere and Nowhere is part of MASP’s annual program dedicated to Queer Histories. This year’s program also includes exhibitions by Gran Fury, Francis Bacon, Mário de Andrade, MASP Renner, Catherine Opie, Leonilson, Serigrafistas Queer and the large group show Queer Histories.

Lucio Fontana made one of the most extraordinary and radical gestures of modern art in 1958 when he cut the surface of a monochromatic canvas with a razor blade. The exhibition “Il y a eu un futur- Un Futuro c'é stato” at the Musée Soulage, Rodez, revisits the legacy of this artist and offers a survey of his entire oeuvre, before and after the war, in Argentina and Italy.

A man is waiting. In elegant clothes, the figure is placed in the center of what looks like a hotel bar. He plays the lead role on a sort of stage, an interior that is something of a cage, something of a scenic locus, as if a possible flirtation or a desired encounter would provide some catalysis of emergence, a quick enjoyment, an intense release, however short and finite, perhaps dismantling a routine of limits. Man in Blue (1954) works as a synthesis of the not so extensive but very significant gathering of the celebrated Francis Bacon (1909-1992) in A Beleza da Carne (The Beauty of Meat), at Masp (São Paulo Museum of Art). The exhibition is curated by Adriano Pedrosa, artistic director of the institution and curator of the current edition of the Venice Biennale, the 60th, on show until November in the Italian city, and co-curated by Laura Cosendey.
