About Unanimous Night
The Unanimous Night exhibition has the structure of a novel. Instead of chapters, works of art compose a narrative of fiction, whose unfolding occurs in the experiences lived along the route taken by the visitor in the exhibition space. From a text written by the Lithuanian artist Raimundas Malašauskas (read the text and listen to the audio here), the curator Bernardo José de Souza - who plays the role of "narrator" of the story - invites other artists to give continuity to the narrative, creating new works (new chapters) or choosing works that already exist, that derive or are articulated with the previous ones and, thus, successively. In this sense, the structure of the exhibition seeks to challenge the conventional notions of narrative: there is a "reading" order proposed by the author, but one that can and must be subverted at any time by the reader / visitor's initiative.
The name of the exhibition arose from the first sentence of a story by Borges, Las Ruinas Circulares. The influence of police novels and scientific fiction and taste for non-linear narratives is also present in the Exhibition. "Through the constant moment of the past and the future from the present - one of the contemporary brands - this exhibition aims to articulate works and artists of" different "times and statures, says the curator (read here the introductory text Thus, Unanime Night is an exhibition in constant transformation, whose Volume 1 and Volume 2 occurred in the Art Exchange (São Paulo, 2015) and the Center for Contemporary Art in Vilnius (Lithuania, 2016), respectively. with other works and other artists. "It's a project underway, with no date to finish. It is an exhibition that changes its shape through space and time; that exists physically and mentally. It is an exhibition in search of an author ", explains Bernardo.
