The artists Joseca Mokahesi Yanomami, Marina Woisky, and Rebeca Carapiá participate in the 38th Panorama da Arte Brasileira: Mil graus [One Thousand Degrees], opening on October 5. This year, the traditional biennial exhibition held by MAM São Paulo is taking place at MAC USP.

The curators of the exhibition Germano Dushá and Thiago de Paula Souza, along with Ariana Nuala, the deputy curator, explain that Mil graus has as its motto the idea of an insurmountable maximum temperature. This concept serves as a point of imagination to think about contexts with a high rate of environmental variation and situations involving combustion processes, electricity, and friction. Guided by an interest in formulations linked to experimentation, intense risk, radical situations, and extreme conditions that make us consider transmutation as an inevitable and immediate destiny.

Joseca presents a set of 10 new drawings that visually translate events and stories from the Yanomami worldview. One of them, created especially for the show, tells the myth of the origin of fire.

Marina Woisky, in turn, has prepared a set of works that are positioned like a large-scale installation and push the threshold between two and three-dimensionality. For the first time, the artist is using bronze, in addition to textiles, concrete, and resins in her work.

Carapiá presents the sculpture Flutuantes, created specially for the Panorama, which marks a new phase in her research.
