exhibition · 2026-04-23

The Luisa Strina gallery in São Paulo presents the exhibition 'Você sonha com o quê?', curated by Mexican curator Magali Arriola. The show explores how daydreams and imagination can challenge worldly arrogance, featuring a utopian and organic collective of works. Key pieces include David Medalla's 'A Flor Mohole' (1957/1966), where the artist imagines planting a flower at the Earth's core, and Cildo Meireles's 'Espaços Virtuais' from the 1960s, which questions spatial perception through works like 'A Penteadeira' (1967). The exhibition also includes works by Marcel Duchamp, Pierre Huyghe, Laura Lima, Zé Carlos Garcia, Marie Lund, Theo Michael, and Gabriel Sierra. Laura Lima's sculpture 'Pássaro' (2015/2018), created with José Carlos Garcia, reflects on public art and architectural presence, imagining a giant bird in an urban catastrophe scenario. Colombian artist Gabriel Sierra uses organic matter to reinvent planets in works like 'CCCC (chispa, corpo, casa, cosmo)', exploring spatial metaphors and creative freedom beyond Earth's known territories.
