Discover all the Occupations Itaú Cultural is presenting the third edition of the Ocupação project, dedicated to poet, novelist, composer and translator Paulo Leminski. Created to foster a dialog between the new generation of artists and the places, works, objects and people that influenced them, Ocupação is part of the Institute’s permanent work, and includes—among other initiatives—activities to encourage contemporary production and preserve artistic memory.
The exhibition is curated by Ademir Assunção, who is working in tandem with the poet Alice Ruiz; it is an opportunity for several audience profiles to become familiar with Leminski’s work, through poems, compositions, video depositions, manuscripts and unpublished texts. It will also be a space where the Institute can focus its educational action on broadening and enhancing the audience’s understanding of the role played by artists such as this poet from Curitiba.
In earlier editions, Ocupação focused on presenting the output of artists who were benchmarks in visual arts (Nelson Leirner) and in the theater (Zé Celso). In December, the project proposes a reflection upon kinetic arts, with presentations of historical works by the Brazilian creator of this language—Abraham Palatnik. In 2010, music, technological arts, cinema and visual arts once again will be the focus of individual shows by artists working in these areas.
