Museum of Contemporary Art at the University of São Paulo, Brazil
October 5–January 26, 2025
Lucas Arruda is included in the 38th Panorama of Brazilian Art: 1000º, curated by Germano Dushá, Thiago de Paula Souza, and Ariana Nuala. The exhibition is mounted by the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (MAM) and this year’s iteration will be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art at the University of São Paulo. The 38th Panorama of Brazilian Art: 1000º is centered on the idea of a temperature opposite to absolute zero, an insurmountable maximum temperature which would result in a total molecular agitation, capable of melting any existing matter. This concept is a starting point to think about contexts with a high rate of environmental variation and situations involving combustion processes, like electricity and friction. In this sense, the project is guided by an interest in formulations linked to experimentations, intense risk, and extreme conditions marked by heat.
