Y Gallery at ArtRIO

The special program invites the public to explore alternative narratives to understand a world full of contrasts - a hyper-reality that exists in the physical world and the virtual. The works selected for the PRISMA shed light on the technological and social architecture supported by the mass media, the circulation of commmodities and enterprise infrastructures constantly expanding, thus challenging the status quo and the consolidated social spaces.

This group exhibition will create an atmosphere in which there is no distinction between reality and fiction, between the physical world and the virtual, historical or futuristic, universal and private alike. To break with the reality of data on which to base our daily lives, the PRISMA seeks to lead the public to perceive the common activities of daily life under a new lens and perspective.

Dutch Carolyn H. Drake is an independent curator and director of A Tale of a Tub, non-profit space for debate on contemporary art based in Rotterdam, and also advice the participant's Young Stedelijk at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Bernardo de Souza, who was assistant curator of the Mercosul Biennial, is a member of the Contemporary Art Museum of the boards of trustees of Rio Grande do Sul and the Vera Chaves Foundation.
