André Azevedo's 'Sala de Máquinas' exhibition explores typewriter art at Biblioteca Mário de Andrade
From February 28 to April 26, André Azevedo (PR, 1977) showcases his solo exhibition 'Sala de Máquinas' at the Espaço Tula Pilar Ferreira in São Paulo, Brazil. The exhibition is accessible Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 21:00 and on weekends and holidays from 9:00 to 18:00. Azevedo, who has been working with typewriters for over ten years, creates typographic fields that display geometric patterns when viewed from afar. The rhythmic sounds of typing play a role in his artistic process, which embraces repetition and mistakes. Critical writings by Ana Paula Lopes and Thierry Freitas accompany the exhibition, which also features sewing machines and fabrics, merging writing with visual artistry.
