Jeanete Musatti's 'Corações Prensados' at Bolsa de Arte explores collection as personal archive
Jeanete Musatti presents 'Corações Prensados' at Galeria Bolsa de Arte, featuring 65 small-format works assembled from objects stored in seven typography drawers throughout her life. The exhibition showcases delicate scenarios within transparent boxes, each a self-contained piece that invites viewers to engage as narrators. Musatti's practice, influenced by her family's artistic lineage—the Leirner dynasty including Felícia, Giselda, Nelson, Jac, Sheila, and Bettina—opposes large-scale trends, focusing instead on continuous research and found objects. A notable work, 'Inversão térmica planeta, 2020', reconfigures a crumpled world map inside a transparent food container, commenting on contemporary dismantling. The artist, who splits time between a farm and London, sources materials from São Paulo's Rua 25 de Março, transforming everyday items into art that challenges social destinies and embraces a countercultural spirit.
