Possible Agreements

Occupying the gallery’s ground floor, Possible Agreements is a collaboration between HOA (a Black owned gallery based in São Paulo and London) and Mendes Wood DM (São Paulo, Brussels, New York). The group show features the work of eight young artists represented by HOA, who have worked and developed their practices during a period of intense political and social transformation. In their own ways, each artist is interested in proposing experiments that can help us reach a deep unlearning of the colonial categories that still haunt us.

Curated by Thiago de Paula Souza the exhibition showcases the production of this generation and what responses have been articulated to their everyday urgencies. The engagement with natural resources is recurrent among the artists presented here. Further, the use of abstract elements in the construction of their oeuvre produces an ambiguity between image and matter and refuses to re-enact the limits established by the contemporary politics of visibility.
