Description: The exhibition curated by José Augusto Ribeiro, is the first to gather a representative number of works from the José Damasceno's imaginative and surreal approach to sculpture, with pieces made between 1989 and 2021. The exhibition covers more than 70 works, five of them unpublished and 40 presented for the first time in São Paulo. In the selection are sculptures, drawings, installations, and photographs, which refer to cinema, music, theater, architecture and the field of art itself. Most of these works today belong to public and private collections in Brazil and abroad. The exhibition includes three works with wool embroidery (Pontoinho, 2017); an obsidiana stone sculpture, extremely reflective, very similar to a black mirror (Solid, 2019); and "Monitor Liquido" (2021), an installation carried out with melting crayons. "This publication, in turn, presents a visual essay specially designed by Damasceno himself. as well as two original texts by exhibition curator Augusto Ribeira and American art historian Lynn Zelevansky. Reproductions of the works shown in "Perpetual Motion" are also included." --Verso Cover
