Vik Muniz opens his first solo show at Galeria Nara Roesler on April 2 at 6PM. In Espelhos de papel (Paper mirrors), artworks from the series Pictures of Magazine 2, never before shown in Brazil, will be exhibited.
Having once again the photograph as the final object of his production, Vik appropriates images torn from magazines, inserting mass media icons in reinterpretations of classic paintings.
According to Christopher Turner, author of the critical essay on the exhibition, "the multiplicity of imagery used to compose his collages adds a mediating, third layer that further ensnares the viewer and makes reference to all the cultural and visual baggage they bring to their encounter with art". Until May 11.
