Matemática Moderna

2005

Galeria Casa Triângulo, São Paulo

Matemática Moderna is a series of interventions in the opening of the gallery and pieces made from tile images. These are called “concrete materials”, combinatory exercises using the photos of tiles as elements in a variety of configurations.

“The arrangements that the artist imposes upon this mathematical raw material do, in fact, generate doubt more than they generate logical conclusions (something that is actually a prerogative of art). The computer animation video that was projected onto a wall in a corner of the gallery’s mezzanine during the exhibition, sets in motion that which the photographs only suggest: a succession of images of tiles infinitely recombining themselves in different forms, an undefined set. Once again, the material’s aesthetic power clashes with the project’s most rational intention: the suggestion of an infinite surface decorated with antique patterns is one of unparalleled poetic power. ”
