OÁSIS


The title Oásis haunts the conceptual scope that constitutes the collaborative and transnational exchange between 8 artists based in Amsterdam and 7 in São Paulo city. During the development of the project additional activities as discussions, international telepresence dialogues, radio transmissions from the Netherlands and printed matter presentations will be introduced. Besides, partnerships with local cultural institutions will be fostered.
The project brings together the works of artists who are thoroughly engaged in the handling of a wide range of materials and pre-existing sources, be it painting, performance, text, geometric space, sound and animated film. Across an array of media they re-contextualize and address whatever is borrowed or employed in order to challenge the way we apprehend our immediate surroundings and shared visual culture.
As ongoing project Oásis will be for the first time actualized as nomadic platform, hosted by Como_club, at the iconic Esther building located in Downtown São Paulo. This symbol of modernism was the first multi-functional building in the city inaugurated in 1938 just before the high-speed process of urban verticalization.
During the 50s there was in its basement the Oásis club which functioned as magnet attracting artistic and intellectual cliques. From the meetings that also took place in the same basement during the 40s was the Museum of São Paulo, MASP, conceptualized and opened in 1947.
Historically, the location of oases has been of critical importance for trade, replenishment, transient communality and transportation routes in desert areas. The ‘Silk Road’ was an ancient network of trade crossroads that extended across Europe and Asia, linking powerful civilizations such as China and Rome. Its central corridor consisted of a broad desert pierced by oeses.
