Summary:

A central name in contemporary art, Helena Almeida (Portugal 1934-2018) built a body of work that broke the boundaries between artistic supports and investigated issues such as the relationship between body and space, art and life, and the representation of women. This is the first solo exhibition of the renowned Portuguese artist in Brazil. Curated by Isabel Carlos, curator of contemporary art and art historian, the catalogue, in addition to the documentation of a selection of works based on photography and drawing, made between 1969 and 2018 and present in the exhibition, includes an essay by Isabel Carlos, as well as a conversation between her and the artist. In Helena Almeida's production, "the photographic record becomes the final tip of a process - here in the sense of work - that can take days or months in the studio. Every image, gesture, position, frame, the place from which the photograph will be taken, is first thought-drawn as a filmmaker thinks and eventually draws every shot of a film, or a designer conceives a comic book vignette. [...] It is a photograph inhabited by painting, drawing, sculpture, architecture and performance and, above all, by its body and meanin."--translated from page 13.
