Capa da publicação lançada na abertura da exposição "Arrebentação" na galeria dconcept. Trata-se de uma entrevista-provocação realizada pelo jovem filósofo e curador carioca Daniel Jablonski, com foco na idéia de utopia coletiva versus individualidade, no que falei um pouco sobre uma idéia de circuito independente, especialmente sobre o modelo "artist-run-space". O projeto grafico foi feito por Tomas Biagi Carvalho, as fotografias por Rod Di Sciascio e Lucas Antunes, e eu desenhei a capa e a contra-capa.

"The greatest things you´ll ever", installation at Eyes Behind release party in Paris - 24/03

"The greatest things ever" is a site-specific installation that I made in a room, at the release-party of Eyes Behind´s LP "La déclinaison". It was only visible in the night of the event, that was held in a private appartment in Paris. It was organized by the french magazines Retard and Vice.

Flyer design by Anna Wanda.

Invitation for "arrebentação"at dconcept gallery, a solo show running until April in São Paulo. The image in the invitation is a blow up of a tiny drawing from "Freie Handlung", one of the artist books exhibited.

I have been making these "artist books" for the last 6 years, specially during 2011. Some were originally sketch moleskines that I re-worked, and some others are handmade.

These acrylic boxes are made like small drawers, that you can open to actually see and manipulate the books.

"Exactly", sewing over old magazine, 2012, 17,4cm x 25cm.

"Da descoberta de mundos", site-specific instalation view, wallpaper, 885cm x 270cm.
