BALBÚRDIA // GROUP EXHIBITION // TEASER // UNDERDOGS 2019 LISBON

Balbúrdia // group exhibition at Underdogs Gallery

A group exhibition curated by Marcelo Cidade with works by:
COXAS | KAUR | SOSEK | THIAGO NEVS 13 September – 05 October 2019

Curated by the artist Marcelo Cidade, a native of São Paulo, this exhibition weaves a critical reflection on Brazil’s current panorama from the work of four young artists from the same city, whose present practice stems from their street production – namely from
the more extreme illegal graffiti scene –, highlighting the creative vitality of the use of public space in the construction of unique languages in the urban- inspired contemporary urban art scene. Brought up in the extreme urban and population density – in the balbúrdia – that characterises the Brazilian megalopolis, these artists’ production displays a unique singularity in the way how, throughout the years, each developed through his own actions and visual language a social and political conscience that is expressed through his art, a means of protest much more conceptual than merely aesthetic.

Friday, 13 September 2019, 7pm – 10pm
