From her residency at a farm near Ribeirão Preto, a city in the interior of São Paulo State, Sylvia Furegatti works on a series of projects that link art and nature. Thus, supported by the always fortuitous combination between travel and other landscapes, another edition of the Cultural Corridors Project, created by Pparalelo in 2011, intents to mark the artists’ passage through distant landscapes.
At the farm residence in mid-2018, the lemon tree on top of a hill soon draws attention for its vibrant color and the amount of fruit around it. In the background, the landscape demarcates the typical horizon of this Brazilian region where both the beauty of the natural landscape and the monoculture plantation inhabit.
Spending time and falling asleep under the trees in the landscape is the proposal for demarcating the landscape that the New Cultural Corridors propose. As if something out of place, unmeasured therefore, could hold back the passage of time. By assuming the form of the panel with printing of the image on fabric, the edition gains a first version in large dimensions.
The Exhibition Panel of the Visual Arts Department of Unicamp measures 3.50 x 1.70cm and has been presenting, since its (re)inauguration in November 2018, recent works of the artists-teachers linked to the Visual Arts Course. The photography of the action on the farm was done by Marilde Stropp (@marilde.stropp) and the printing on fabric by Matheus Hofstatter / Garagem 888 (@hofstattermatheus / GARAGEM888 ).
