Pedro Torres expands das–vindas—i with a new activation at Zielinsky and a one-day exhibition at Desapê
Bolação takes place on July 25 and proposes a collective, ephemeral experience within the exhibition das–vindas—i. The programme extends to Desapê, which hosts a one-day exhibition dedicated to a selection of Pedro Torres’ artist’s books produced over recent years.
das–vindas—i, Pedro Torres’ current solo exhibition, unfolds into a new chapter on Saturday, July 25, with Bolação, a new participatory action developed in collaboration with Keila Alaver and Luiza Bernardes. Taking place from 3 to 5 pm at Zielinsky, the activation extends the exhibition through an experience grounded in exchange. The exhibition is currently on view at Zielinsky, located on Travessa Dona Paula in central São Paulo.
Conceived specifically for the occasion, Bolação transforms the exhibition space into a site of encounter. During the action, specially prepared blue gelatins will be distributed, inviting a gesture of exchange between a material form that dissolves—or is remade in another body—and an immaterial one that remains as a trace.
On the same day, the artist expands this occupation of the city with a one-day exhibition at Desapê, also located on Travessa Dona Paula, where he presents a selection of artist’s books produced over recent years. The exhibition brings together the publications Una semitransparencia del tiempo, Every Other Day, some space, Desenho, Black Sun, semi–luna–negra and The Grain on the Whole—the latter produced during an artist residency at the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró de Mallorca—highlighting the editorial practice that has developed alongside his artistic research.
Together, the two events invite visitors to move between both venues over the course of a single day, engaging with different dimensions of Pedro Torres’ practice. Both are presented as part of the public programme accompanying das–vindas—i,, the artist’s first solo exhibition in Brazil. Currently on view at Zielinsky, the exhibition features new works produced between Brazil and Spain, exploring relationships between time, matter, landscape and language.
