ARTE VIVA: Prototype for art education in open spaces in the city - BArch Final Thesis

Author: Amanda Camara / Advisor: Ana Rolim

Catholic University of Pernambuco (UNICAP), Brazil

The central research inquiry explores how art can transcend street art to resonate with a diverse audience, while investigating how exhibition architecture can enhance interaction and strengthen the connection between art and the public within existing urban spaces. This theme advocates for the promotion of art and architecture in Brazilian cities, emphasizing their social function in fostering integration between artists and the community. As part of this initiative, a prototype for mobile, itinerant, and adaptable art exhibitions is proposed, inspired by the geometric elements found in the works of renowned Brazilian neo-concrete artists Hélio Oiticica and Lygia Clark. The city of Recife emerges as the ideal testing ground for this concept, specifically targeting neighborhoods distinguished by their cultural landmarks and venues, such as museums, galleries, and performance spaces, which currently lack adequate infrastructure to support art exhibitions.
