Cibele Vieira “Neighbor’s Backyard”
Christopher Henry Gallery
This event has ended.
Christopher Henry Gallery presents Cibele Vieira’s body of work, “Neighbor’s Backyard.”
Neighbor’s Backyard is a project conceived after Méret Oppenheim’s, “Le Déjeuner en fourrure” (1936). Playing with the concepts of “artificial” and “organic”, the pieces feature visceral textures at war with logic. After all, the grass is always greener…
The show consists of 6 prints and a sod installation covering the gallery floors that the public can walk upon and that will be painted green every 3 days.
“Neighbor’s Backyard undertakes a strange combination of labor and artistic intent to reverse the process of time as death plays a part in creating originality and truthfulness. Her work does not fake death. Instead it mimics reality beyond the point of belief, transforming what we may know as being truth in something even truer.”
(Gaudêncio Fidelis is director of Rio Grande do Sul Museum of Art in Brazil.)
