Gallery 1957 congratulates Gustavo Nazareno for his coming group exhibition on 19th November 2022 at the Inhotim Institution in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais , Brazil: Quilombo: Life, problems and aspirations of the Black people.
Directly alluding to the name of the newspaper, the exhibition, on view at the Lago Gallery, is divided into five sections (New power: reformulating a vanguard; Public lives; Life and aspirations of the black people; The women speak; and Rewriting history: building and affirming identity), which establish a dialogue with themes present in the Quilombo, such as issues of representation and identity of the Black figure in the society of the time, and relate them to the contemporary production of both male and female Brazilian artists.
Instituto Inhotim is a contemporary art museum and botanical garden located in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais. Recognized as a Civil Society Organization of Public Interest (OSCIP, in Portuguese) by the Government of Minas Gerais since 2008, Inhotim is a private, not-for-profit entity, funded by donations of individuals and companies – whether directly or through the Federal and State Tax Incentive Laws for Culture –, as well as by its ticket office and other events. Idealized since the 1980s by the businessman Bernardo de Mello Paz, out of the ferrous ground of this farm originated, back in 2006, one of the biggest open-air museum in the world.
