Bergamin & Gomide second venue and Jose Resende’s exhibition
On May 22nd , Bergamin & Gomide opened its second exhibition venue, located in Vila Modernista, just one block from the gallery in the Jardins district, in São Paulo.
The house, designed in 1933 by the multifaceted artist Flávio de Carvalho, opened to the public presenting José Resende’s first solo show at Bergamin & Gomide, which takes place until July 3rd.
The exhibition showcases two new installations produced by the artist, one on the side façade and another that is occupying the central area of the house’s atrium, in addition to a selection of works dating from 1975. The installations that José Resende created for the House suggest to the public the intention of a displacement through the space and draw the attention of those who pass by the street, directing the passer’s eye to the small circular awning on the rooftop at the entrance of the gallery.
The renovation sought, carefully, to preserve the Modernist characteristics of the property that is part of a development of 17 residences designed and incorporated by Flávio de Carvalho on his family lot, between Alameda Lorena and Alameda Ministro Rocha Azevedo. Vila América - currently known as Vila Modernista - is today an art and culture hub where art galleries and architecture offices are located.
An essay written by Guilherme Wisnik, art and architecture critic, accompanies the event by addressing that “It’s commendable that nowadays private institutions such as art galleries are committed to restoring residential projects that are part of our modern architectural heritage, returning them to collective fruition.”
