SFAI Graduate Lecture: Marcelo Cidade
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) - closed
(see times)
Marcelo Cidade creates uncanny situations, which appear as if by chance, in
quotidian urban contexts. His process is that of a trickster or playful interventionist,
and his actions produce subtle and poetic transformations in his home city, São
Paulo, and similar public environments. Although his works may appear materially
or conceptually off-handed, they are formally rigorous, politically loaded, and
amplify one’s awareness of the specific thrills of urban space.
