Kinetic Sculptures by Raul Mourão at Praça Tiradentes
SEPT 15 I OCT 6
The installation at Praça Tiradentes was borne out of a conversation between the artist and Studio-X Rio to re-utilize the fences (which were removed in 2011) surrounding Praça Tiradentes as material for a series of sculptures at the square. Although the fence was unfortunately not saved for such a purpose, the artist went ahead and proposed a series of kinetic sculptures assembled out of scaffolding material and techniques. Together with the installation at the square, Studio-X Rio hosted an exhibition called PROCESSO highlighting some of the artist's research regarding security fences in Rio as well as small scale models of the sculptures installed at the square.
