Jacqueline Humphries Brings JH Studio to Auroras in São Paulo for First Brazilian Show
Jacqueline Humphries is showcasing her inaugural exhibition in Brazil, named Jacqueline Humphries e JH Studio, at Auroras in São Paulo. This exhibition includes works from her studio artists: Peter Granados, Paul Kopkau, and Francesco Vizzini, emphasizing their collaborative techniques. Granados constructs geometric designs using colored cardboard cutouts, while Vizzini employs Plexiglass to depict imagery inspired by The X-Files. Kopkau's sculptures, resembling cardboard, are actually cast in concrete. The initial room is dominated by a cohesive green palette, with Humphries utilizing fire extinguisher-sprayed paint on foam boards. Additionally, six studio process books are available in the library, and her paintings feature vinyl cutter stencils that integrate fragmented typographic elements to investigate digital interaction.
