Title: Constelação Clarice
Description: Constelação Clarice celebrates the work and legacy of writer Clarice Lispector (1920-1977), one of the most important Brazilian writers in an original and thought-provoking way, celebrating the person and the work she produced. The exhibition was not built with biographical narratives, photographs, manuscripts or first editions, but as a tribute in which Clarice's textual production is related to the works of women who, in the same period, marked the history of Brazilian art. There is much of Maria Martins, among them sculpture "Sombras/ Anunciaçã" (1952) and Fayga Ostrower, paintings of Wanda Pimentel, Maria Polo, Anna Bella Geiger and Judith Lauand, videos of Leticia Parente, photographs of Vera Chaves Barcellos and Claudia Andujar, woodcuts of Maria Bonomi (of whom Clarice was a good friend) and Wilma Martins. And yet Mira Schendel, Amelia Toledo, Regina Vater, Iole de Freitas, among other of 26 female artists, contemporary of the author, in the period in which she produced her best work: from the 1940s to 1970. These are names that would hardly be together in an art exhibition of art, but in "Constellation Clarice" they gravitate around the writer's themes in an organic and attractive way, not as an illustration, but as a thought that ran parallel to that of the writer. Artistas participantes include: Amelia Toledo, Anna Bella Geiger, Anna Maria Maiolino, Celeida Tostes, Claudia Andujar, Djanir, Eleonore Koch, Fayga Ostrower, Judith Lauand, Hilda Hils, Iole de Freitas, Ione Saldanha, Letícia Parente, Lygia Clark, Maria Bonomi, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, Maria Martins, Maria Polo, Mira Schendel, Regina Silveira, Regina Vater, Vera Chaves Barcellos, Wanda Pimentel, Wega Nery, Wilma Martins and Yolanda Mohalyi
