Summary

Mira Schendel (b. Zurich, Switzerland 1919 - d. Brazil 1988), a Brazilian artist best known for her drawings on rice paper, but who was also a painter and sculptor. Curated by Paulo Venancio Filho, the exhibition reveals the power of synthesis of Mira Schendel's work, permeated by lines, words, letters and scribbles. Opening on January 16th (from 20.00, with free entry for guests and the general public) and running until April 22nd 2018, the exhibition Mira Schendel: Sinais/Signals, is to be hosted by MAM Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (Musuem of Modern Art of São Paulo) in the Paulo Figueiredo room, with the presentation of over 90 works by the Swiss artist Mira Schendel (1919-1988) who lived in Brazil in 1949. Curated by Paulo Venancio Filho, Sinais/Signals highlight's Schendelœs principal characteristic, namely the process of reducing things to their "minimum" in different media, which include paper and rice paper (the "Monotypes"), but also the so-called "Toquinhos" (or "stubs"), small acrylic cubes or pieces of silk paper, onto which her characteristic signs and letters are applied. The materials used in the drawings and paintings include India ink, Ecoline, Letraset, typescript and oil paint. The show is sponsored by Bradesco.
