In the early 1970s, women began to permeate the previously male dominated terrain of art, breaking artistically with traditional rules and historical stereotypes. Together with the pioneers of feminist art history, they paved the way for a new appreciation of women’s artistic achievements. Flower Blast / Blumen Sprengung, Annette Wehrmann’s eponymous work, represents such a spirit of new beginnings.

1970 was also the year that the Neue Galerie – Sammlung Ludwig, the institution that preceded the Ludwig Forum was founded. Permanently located in Aachen, and holding one of the most important collections of Contemporay Art in the world, collectors Peter and Irene Ludwig founded in Aachen the first public Museum for Contemporary Art in the Federal Republic of Germany. Therefore it is appropriate to celebrate its 50th birthday with a selection of around 100 works by female artists from the Ludwig Forum Collection.

Anna Costa e Silva was the winner of the first open call for the Terremoto Magazine residency program with Ubisoft. The residency, which begins in April, will run for three months and will lead to an exhibition by the artist at a local art center.

In the 1960s and 70s, artist books used printed writing and graphic design as tools to convey works of art closer to theory. This exhibition, curated by Felipe Chaimovich, brings together artist books that were not products of commercial publishers, emphasizing the unique work of certain prints.

Opens on December 6, the collective exhibition “Triangular: Arte Deste Século”, with work by artist Rodrigo Garcia Dutra. The exhibition will celebrate the new acquisitions of contemporary art from the Universidade de Brasília and will feature works by about 100 artists from all over Brazil.

Anna Costa e Silva presents Púrpura, a performative experience that explores locations in the city as possible fields for encounters. The work begins in a car, in which four spectators at a time are taken to different spaces of the city for one-on-one experiences with an actress, seeking the possibility of reframing the function of consumer spaces and proposing breaches of intimacy and strangeness from affections and memories of female bodies in the city.

On November 21st, from 7pm to 9pm, there will be a lecture given by Gustavo Nóbrega, director of Galeria Superfície, about the book “Poema/Processo”. The panorama of the contribution of artists linked to the movement’s group for Brazilian poetry and plastic arts will be presented, highlighting works by Neide Sá, Alvaro de Sá, Wladimir Dias-Pino, Moacy Cirne, among others.

Opens on November 19th, the collective exhibition “Doações 2019”, with work by artist Rodrigo Garcia Dutra. The show, curated by Charles Cosac, can be visited until January 19, 2020.
