Calendar Felipe Rezende

Casa de Cultura do Parque presents, from March 28 to June 28, 2026, the exhibition “Calendário” [Calendar] by Felipe Rezende, as part of its I Exhibition Cycle. Installed in Project 280X1020, the show is curated by Claudio Cretti, the institution’s artistic director, with a text by Guilherme Teixeira.
 

Felipe Rezende (Salvador, 1994) uses techniques such as patchwork to construct an imaginary world around labor. The method used to repair truck tarpaulins—marked by dirt and road pollution—is transposed onto a six-meter-long billboard. The work proposes a reflection on the representation of working-class reality and the invention of fictions related to elements of everyday labor.
 

The research stems from direct observation of work contexts often located along highways and in improvised workshops near gas stations, whose presence is both transient and marked by traces. By incorporating these procedures into an institutional space, the artist also reconfigures the support.
 

As Guilherme Teixeira notes: “It is a gesture of appropriation: bringing into the museum this structure of public communication—the billboard that usually announces, sells, promises. Here, however, the billboard says nothing. Or says everything that cannot fit into advertising.”
 

In addition to Rezende’s solo show, the I Exhibition Cycle includes the group exhibition “Horror, Humor and the Absurd” (Galeria do Parque) and “Badauê” by Andrea Brazil (Gabinete). The cycle operates at the threshold between the real and the imaginary, articulating fabulation as an essential tool to subvert current configurations of the world. Claudio Cretti states that the cycle seeks, through different languages, to “push the boundaries between the conceivable and the inconceivable, highlighting the potential of fiction as a way of critically thinking about reality.”
 

Finally, the Performance Program will open on March 28, 2026, at 5 pm, with performer and dancer Maria Noujaim presenting “Lago.” Through the transposition of mythology into movement, the artist explores hybridities between animal and human, taking as its starting point the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan.
