Title: A travessia do desastre
Description: The crossing of disaster is a monographic exhibition by François Andes, curated by Luiz Gustavo Carvalho. This project has been taking place since 2016 during artistic residencies in Vietnam, Cambodia, South Korea, and Brazil. François Andes and Luiz Gustavo Carvalho's creative process focuses on various beliefs to examine the evolution of humankind's relationship to nature, in particular to ecosystems with running water and forests, and delves into several mythologies for the keys to reinventing our reality or allowing us, at the very least, to get through it. The exhibition at the Oscar Niemeyer Museum (Curitiba, Brazil) showcases the works created as part of these residencies and provides a new dialogue between the work of François Andes and the museum's Asian collection. It is an intriguing set of works  drawings, in situ interventions, sculptures, costumes and masks  that lead the audience to a fascinating exchange between the culture of Asian countries and Brazil. Among the works created especially for the artist's exhibition at the Oscar Niemeyer Museum are three that were inspired by MON's Asian art collection.
