Description: Catalog of artist Daisy Xavier (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 1952) 15-year trajectory, comprising drawings, sculptures, paintings and photographs. The exhibition curated by Franklin Espath Pedroso includes pieces exhibited previously like "Último Azul" (Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro, 2011); photographs of submerged bodies in Anfíbiosʺ, the series Arqueologia da Perdaʺ, the series Natureza em Expansãoʺ, among others and the series "Pequenas Gravidades", her most recent production and which gave name to the exhibition. These works show Daisy Xavierœs relationship with psychoanalysis, since the process used is similar to that of an analysis () Various issues are raised, such as limits, memory, equilibrium, lack of support, tension and the dilution of form. Water and nets are recurrent elements in the artistœs work. She uses these to question the rigidity of limitsʺ --Page 59.
Notes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition "Daisy Xavier: Pequenas Gravidades" held from December 16, 2017 to February 19, 2018 at the Paço Imperial in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
