Transbordar: Transgressões do Bordado na Arte /Overflowing: Embroidery transgressions in art
From November 26, 2020 to May 8, 2021 the exhibition Transbordar: Transgressões do Bordado na Arte /Overflowing: Embroidery transgressions in art is presented at Sesc Pinheiros, São Paulo, Brazil.
Curated by Ana Paula Cavalcanti Simioni, the exhibition displays works by women and men artists who use embroidery as an expressive means of challenging aesthetic and social hierarchies. The set of works in the exhibition, structured around two main modules - "Artizando o Bordado" and "Transbordamentos" - is composed of diverse works, which vary profoundly in terms of scale, dimension and technique; works that overflow the hierarchies, the limits to which this practice has historically been confined. In each of them, embroidery shows its power to, at the same time, enchant and disturb, seduce and raise awareness. The existing boundaries between art and crafts; between artists and artisans, or between the artist (in the masculine singular) and “the housewives in prison” (in the plural, feminine) are deliberately blurred.
The exhibition features works by over 30 artists from different generations, with poetics and singular dimensions, such as Ana Miguel, Anna Bella Geiger, Arthur Bispo do Rosário, Beth Moysés, Edith Derdyk, Fabio Carvalho, Fernando Marques Penteado, Jucelia da Silva, Karen Dolorez , Leonilson, Letícia Parente, Lia Menna Barreto, Nazareth Pacheco, Pola Fernandez, Rodrigo Mogiz, Rosana Palazyan, Rosana Paulino, Rosângela Rennó, Sônia Gomes, Zuzu Angel, among others. The show also brings some works of Chilean arpilleras.
Each work invites the audience to look at, and rethink, the hierarchies of genres (artistic and social) that are in force both in daily practices and in the worlds of the arts. Embroidery is, at the same time, charming and transgressive, showing its capacity to overflow the aesthetic and social limits; indicating a multiple power, not domesticable.
