Fernanda Gomes's 1996 MAM Rio Exhibition
In October 1996, Brazilian artist Fernanda Gomes presented a solo exhibition at the Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (MAM Rio). The show featured large-scale installations composed of small, everyday objects that were 'abstractized' and arranged on the floor, drawing a comparison to Piet Mondrian's structuring of pictorial space. Gomes dispersed fragments side by side, creating a subtle interplay of forms and materials. The exhibition highlighted her nuanced approach to minimalism and the transformation of ordinary items into poetic spatial compositions.
