Curated by Lisette Lagnado, sponsored by the Yanghyun Foundation Prize (South Korea) and in partnership with the Visual Arts School of Lage Park (EAV Parque Lage), the show features 32 pieces developed by Rivane and Guto. They are the result of a creation process started from workshops held with children from public and private schools and from social reinsertion units (URS), as well as spontaneous public from MAR and Lage Park. The project named after the show was designed by Rivane after being awarded the Yanghyun in 2013 at the sixth edition of the Korean prize that includes artists with works recognized internationally. Through it, the Yanghyun Foundation offers the winners a support system to hold a show in a renowned museum. MAR, as a space for the promotion of education as a practice of creation and experimentation, was chosen to receive the pieces produced from the activities of The name of fear in Rio de Janeiro. Workshop at Parque Lage (RJ) In 2015, Rivane was invited to collaborate with the Children's Comission event, held annually by the Whitechapel art gallery (London, England), created to promote children's interaction with art. On the occasion, the artist set out to investigate fear from the children's eyes, who were encouraged to list and draw their greatest fears and to build covers with materials rich in textures and colors - cotton, organza, ribbons, Other materials linked to the universe of cutting and sewing - as a way to help them welcome and protect themselves from their fears. The articles produced in the meetings were transformed into stylized covers, created by the artist with the collaboration of the fashion designer Lucas Nascimento, a London resident. In Rio de Janeiro, 12 workshops were held, with a duration of three hours, with more than 240 children, between 6 and 13 years old, at Escola do Olhar and at EAV Parque Lage. Renowned artists such as Laura Lima, Anitta Boavida, Chiara Banfi, Daniel Steegmann-Mangrane, among others, assisted the participants in the making of their pieces. The covers designed and built during the activities gained a new format by the hands of Rivane and the fashion designer Guto Carvalhoneto, with accompaniment of Lisette Lagnado. For the artist, the project allows to question the psychic and social origins of fear and helps the child in the elaboration of their conflicts. Rivane explains that "the opposition between play and violence makes this work offer unique conditions for the child to express his / her yearnings and fears, so that adults re-evaluate both childhood and everyday child exposure to brutality, and also to Rethink how fear arises from a kind of coercive affect within society." Rivane has already held individual and collective exhibitions in Sweden, Ireland, Japan, South Africa, France, among other countries. His works are produced from collaborative processes with the public. About Lisette Lagnado Lisette Lagnado (1961, Kinshasa, Congo) is an art critic and independent curator.
