Summary
Chelpa Ferro is group of artists: Barrao, Luiz Zerbini and Sergio Mekler, all of who live in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The group is not simply a sum of its parts, as each of its members brings from their solo artistic careers, beginning in the 1980s, the idea of combining pieces from various localities using the most diverse possible media. Barrao constructs domestic appliances or shards of china crockery. Luiz Zerbini, in turn produces paintings that bring together different traditions. Finally, Sergio Mekler edits and mounts filmed images. Although the work of each is distinct, all display a certain coherence that signals the impermanence of the relation between things and ideas. Their work as a group displays in various formats: objects, installations, performances, stage presentations and records, sounds and images deriving from the experience of urban life in the contemporary world. This interest in the ambiguous and fleeting is already present in the name of the group, which is a combination of an old and rare Portuguese word for money, the universal means of exchange.
