The columns that support the Bienal Pavilion, at Parque Ibirapuera, in São Paulo, will be covered with ropes and black fabrics, in addition to 270 pieces in marble. This will be the intervention of the plastic artist Yhuri Cruz during the São Paulo International Art Festival, SP-Arte, which starts this Wednesday (6th) and runs until April 10th.
Yhuri makes her debut at the event – aimed at the art consumer market -, which this year starts a new program, the SP-Art Radarwhich aims to show the work of artists who are not represented by any gallery.
In January, the 30-year-old carioca born in Olaria and graduated in Political Science, saw his works win social networks, after singer Linn da Quebrada, a personal friend, entered a reality show wearing a t-shirt with the print of a of his works, the “Monumento à Voz de Anastácia”.
With the words “Anastácia Livre”, the work is the opposite of the image of Anastácia made by the French Jacques Étienne Arago, in 1839, in which she appears with a tin mask – used to mistreat and transport slaves.
In his works, Yhuri, who also has a postgraduate degree in cultural journalism, mixes texts and poetry with performances and installations, to show systems of power, relations of oppression and healing.
In November, he also stood out with “Faminta Night”, a marble sculpture in the shape of a door that was exposed in the middle of Praça Mauá, facing the Guanabara Bay, in Rio, as part of the IluminaRio festival.
Radar SP-Arte will also have the participation of nine other artists, and five collectives and autonomous art spaces, which will present their projects in small commercial exhibitions. This is the 18th edition of the fair, which returns to the face-to-face model in 2022 with 133 galleries – among them, 92 national galleries, nine international ones, in addition to design galleries and publishing houses.
