Aberto4

As part of the Brazil-France Season 25 organized by the Guimarães Rosa Institute and the French Institute, the Fondation Le Corbusier is hosting the 4th edition of ABERTO, an exhibition concept created by art consultant Filipé Assis, which combines modernist architecture and contemporary art.

Through 40 original works specially created by 25 major artists of the Brazilian scene, the exhibition explores the essential link between Le Corbusier and modernist architecture in Brazil, while highlighting the lasting influence of his work on contemporary Brazilian architects, designers, and artists.

The exhibition was designed by curators Lauro Cavalcanti, Kiki Mazzucchelli, and Claudia Moreira in collaboration with institutions and art galleries.

The Fondation Le Corbusier, the Lucio Costa Estate, and the Burle Marx Institute have loaned archival documents and works from their collections. The Fondation Oscar Niemeyer has produced a limited edition of Niemeyer's Marquesa bench, in red, produced by ETEL.

The Brazilian galleries Fortes d'Aloia & Gabriel, Mendes Wood Dm, Luisa Strina, Nara Roesler, and the French Galerie Mennour are presenting works by the artists they represent.
