Londres está fervilhando
Texto de Cesar Augusto, Consultor Artístico
Londres esta fervilhando. Gente pra todo lado, os termômetros não estão dando conta. O Rio de Janeiro conhece esta temperatura e vem contribuindo para este caldeirão. Desta vez com ideias por todos os lados onde os 30 artistas carioca- brasileiros constroem esta chamada Rio Occupation.
Ontem arroz doce, cocada mole, xinxin de galinha (na plaquinha esqueceram de botar o N em total deboche culinário), forró-mix com canjas divertidas e miscigenadas. O salão estava lindo com barraquinhas de madeira empilhadas com fogueiras e bandeirinhas multicoloridas. Tudo feito com dedicação e harmonia e, muito provavelmente, esta é a tônica deste coletivo.
Diastole – Southbank Centre – 26 July – 10 August
Andrea Capella is a woman in love. When she describes the object of her affection, her face lights up and she radiates an air of swoony joy as she describes how she has been completely captivated by London.
“It’s my first time. Yes I am completely passionate about it – I cannot hide it.”
Visitors to the Southbank today will be able to see the expression of Andrea's love. Two vast photographic banners of Rio and London will be exhibited on the outside of the Southbank Centre for 2 weeks until 10 August.
Taken between sunrise and nightfall, Andrea has created photographic representations of a day in the life of the shifting urban landscapes. Her aim was to capture the soul of a city through its image, between people, space and light.
