Razões de um discurso poético


Porque a comparação só é possível,
quando se pode medir.
...E como se pode aferir uma pintura abstrata?
Alguns critérios possíveis para ver as obras de Lito Dias:
O equilíbrio entre os cheios e os vazios;
A graça e a dinâmica entre as cores e as formas;
A expressividade, gestualidade e a contenção;
E por final a impressão geral em que se avaliam as cores, formas e texturas com caráter integro que intentam contar uma história. Dentre tantas.

Com o objetivo de abraçar emoções e fazer prosperar ideais construtivas carregadas de sentidos e conteúdos construindo os territórios da presença. Como se já estivessem ali a iluminar ideários, estabelecendo discursos inteligíveis e concatenados.
Evidentemente, toda a história da arte mundial e toda a manifestação artística lhe são próximas de forma mais ou menos avassaladora.

As suas primeiras exposições perdem-se nos anos 80 e 90 do século passado, quando fez exposições coletivas e individuais no Centro Cultural Vergueiro e participou dum Salão Paulista, entre outras.
Aí, quando se decidia entre o exercício da arte ou da arquitetura, nunca abandonou a pintura e o desenho e de forma compulsiva enchia cadernos e mais cadernos com riscos idéias, desenhando e pintando para pequenas platéias.

Nele os olhares de Angola, da velha Lisboa e de São Paulo como nós de um mesmo tecido enriquecido pela cultura de tantos povos encantam e renovam suas propostas.

Porque um artista está em
Fazer ver o mundo, ou partes dele
Como se nosso fosse,
E aí a expressão dessa intenção maravilhosa que é a revelação
Das suas gentes, seus sonhos e seus mundos...
Que se confundem.

Cleber Alexsander - na Galeria Polytheama em Jundiaí


GALERIA POLYTHEAMA •
24/03 a 17/04 – COMEMORAÇÃO DO CENTENÁRIO DO POLYTHEAMA
COR: A EXPRESSÃO RITMICA DO MOVIMENTO
Artista: Cleber Alexsander

corinne vionnet - fotografias compostas por centenas de fotos similares

swiss/france based artist corinne vionnet has sent us images of her collection of travel portraiture. 
through online crowd sourcing of photogenic landmarks from around the world, vionnet has compiled 
several meta-portraits of around 100 images into one. exposing the consistency of how these landmarks 
are composed photographically but also visually capturing the ephemeral feelings of tourists into 
seemingly surreal landscapes. 

the project serves as a study of not only the technical means available to source this material 
but also provides a means to analyze why so much of the same material exists. perhaps there 
are unspoken rules about how we collectively photograph and remember the time spent in 
foreign environments or simply that so many people want ownership of the same monument 
that we decide on similar visual experiences. vionnet says "I feel the photographs of these 
monuments also attest to the admiration that is brought to them. they share the excitement 
and emotion of the unique time spent in their midst for each of us."  

whichever be the case individually, the work provides an inspiring view of human creation 
and the documentation of it over time.

hands on door handles concurso:


01 - the subject of the international competition contest is
hands on door handles
COLOMBO DESIGN, a leading italian manufacturer of handles and accessories for doors and windows,
is dedicated to a discerning quality of design that combines technological innovation with
excellence in industrial manufacturing procedures, adopting only eco-compatible processes
in every stage of production. the COLOMBO DESIGN state-of-the-art product catalogue features door handle
projects created by protagonists of today's international design scene, among them
carlo bartoli, jean marie massaud, jasper morrison, michele de lucchi, alberto meda and konstantin grcic.
with this competition, COLOMBO DESIGN aims to expand the horizons of door handles.

the door handle is an exciting medium
in the field of internal door and window furniture the path between innovation and what is
considered repetition or re-design of 'classical' forms is narrow. if it is true that through the
years the most successful models have been variations on basic forms, it is also true that
door handles are an exciting medium for contemporary forms. along the qualitative line
of their long formal (sculptural) tradition, door handles have always expressed and matched
the changing lifestyle choices of society. this competition is a difficult aesthetic and technical
challenge to stimulate design innovation with much attention to detail.

for everyday use, and not for gadget display
we are not looking for excessive-aggressive styling or new radical high tech solutions.
please refrain from all those overworked concepts of randomly including interactive technologies
to encourage behavioral transformation. door handle designs with incorporated LED lights,
the latest cool audio or video gadgets, cell phones etc. will not be considered as relevant.
this is an opportunity of developing a real product, a simple, but important functional object.
the scope of the co-organizing company COLOMBO DESIGN is to manufacture the best door handles
of this competition.


the basics of door lever handle hardware
sweeping forms are great, a sleek and shiny appearance too, but please also consider that
indoor handles use commonly marketed mechanical parts, which are conforming to the
relevant building and safety standards. the actual sizes of the levers vary, but convenient
measurements have been widely adopted and hardware manufacturers make their products
to fit these standards. the bore hole size, cross bore size and the thickness of the doors are
to be considered, (in the case of non-standard door thicknesses, customized pins are available).
most door handle levers are mounted on a round rose, however new designs may include square,
oval and other shapes of roses. other important factors are robustness, the thickness of the
rose plates, smooth or angular finished edges (for purposes of visual accentuation), …
last but not least, the handle set itself (as a door has two sides, a door requires two handles
- a left and a right version).

free-style
experimental projects are very welcome and considered appropriate if they match the few technical
requirements cited. in this case, a pragmatic design approach of 'making do' to verify the quality
of your door handle design through mock-ups or prototypes is very appreciated.

mika barr: folding A-part

folding A-part' is a project that deals with print as an outline to fabric's structure.
an exploration and research performed by israeli-based mika barr, 
the development is a series of textiles that fold, fracture and turn in three-dimensional ways, 
derived from a flat printed pattern. 
the initial interest for the project came from barr's research into the relation between geometrics and organics, 
and her observation of flowers and different structures in nature, exploring the relationship between 
printed material itself and the image it creates. this investigation evolved into a textile manufacturing process 
in which a 2D image defines the dropping and folding of fabric. the light and elastic textiles are hand-dyed 
and then screen printed with an inflexible material that indicates the fabric's movement, creating a new, 
three-dimensional textile structure. while 'folding A-part' is hand-made (dyed and printed),
the technique has been transferred into industrial production through barr's studio. besides forming sculptural elements, 
the textiles can be designated for use in various fields including furniture.
