This weekend sees the third edition of Aberto, a traveling exhibition that takes art to “unusual” places outside museums and galleries. This time, the circuit will occupy the homes of two Asian-Brazilian women: architect Chu Ming Silveira, creator of Orelhão, and artist Tomie Ohtake. This will be the first time that Ohtake’s studio-house will be open to visitors!
Aberto3 will be available until September 15, with tickets starting at R$30 available on the official website. Find out more!
Aberto3 celebrates the work of Asian-Brazilian artists
Opened in 2022, Aberto aims to celebrate modern Brazilian art inside the homes and landmarks of Brazilian architects. The first edition, for example, took place in a residence signed by Oscar Niemeyer, featuring furniture designed by him and his daughter.
In its third edition, Aberto will for the first time occupy two simultaneous spaces. The first is by architect Ruy Ohtake, who designed it for his mother Tomie Ohtake. The residence, located in Campo Belo, features brutalist architecture with plenty of use of concrete and a beautiful garden with tropical species, designed by Tomie with the help of landscaper Burle Marx.
The space also features the artist’s practically untouched studio, which is being shown to the public for the first time.
The second house is by Sino-Brazilian architect Chu Ming Silveira, famous for creating the Orelhão design. Also in Brutalist design, its main feature is the exposed concrete, which will be given a colorful touch by the works on display at Aberto3. This is also the first time that the house will be available to the public.
Tomie Ohtake’s studio-house is located at Rua Antonio de Macedo Soares, 1800 (Campo Belo). Chu Ming Silveira’s home is on 327 República Dominicana Street (Real Parque). Don’t miss the chance to see them up close!
