Braziliality in November celebrates the power of culture to move around the world...

Airports: The Waiting Place
Photography from Gil Sibin

From 5th November - 2nd December 2009

Private view
5th November from 7pm

with FREE screening of a special selection by Ricardo Cançado
of videos from the Festival Visual Brasil in Barcelona


GIL SIBIN has been photographing since the end of the 1970s, but his fascination for the camera began much earlier. When still a child, he inherited his father’s Rolleiflex 6x6. Between 1982 and 1985 he studied photography in São Paulo, Brazil. During this time he participated in the collective exhibition “Tradição e Ruptura” (Tradition and Rupture) at the Biennial Foundation of São Paulo, and was selected for the International Nikon Photography Exhibition (1984/85) in Tokyo, Japan. From 1985 to 1988, inspired in the study of detail, tone and nuance through black and white photography, he developed photographic projects and joined collective exhibitions in the city of São Paulo, where he still lives. In the 90s, photography triggered other passions: architecture, cinema, fine arts and sculpture. At present, the photograph represents a genuine expression and is an essential tool in the manifestation of the art, ever present in his life. In 2008 and 2009 he travelled through countries of five continents, dedicated to the creation of several photographic series such as “Made in China”, currently touring Brazil, “Death and Resurrection” and Airports: the Waiting Place ”, opening in London in November / 2009.

Aiports: The Waiting Place
The “Aiports: The Waiting Place” exhibition is the outcome of photographic impressions captured at these moments of wait and silence, dots of an invisible connection between Brazil and the many countries around the world, which re-means time and space, local and global. While my glance reinvents the architecture and the geometry of the airports, and translates them in dreamlike and abstract images, new meanings and experiences are revealed, that each observer will be able to enjoy accordingly to his/her sestory-aesthetically references, transposing any idea of nationality or frontier.


FESTIVAL VISUAL BRASIL

The festival promotes the Brazilian audiovisual culture and it proposes a mix of cultures through avant-garde works using new media. Visual Brasil expose the diversity of Brazilian art production, breaking barriers with contemporary arts, bringing innovation with a daring vision.

Braziliality and Visual Brasil share a very similar intention and this partnership is very important to promote the network of Brazilian artists living around the world and to disseminate Brazilian art & culture.

Braziliality is a not-for-profit cross-cultural project, showcasing artwork by Brazilian artists and international artists inspired by Brazil, creating a 360-degree perspective of the influence of contemporary Brazilian art and culture around the globe. Our mission is to support new art, particularly art with technology, and new talent inspired by Brazil.
Braziliality started in July 2008 and with almost three years, we have presented the work of 147 artists from 24 countries had had their work showcased in 28 exhibitions that attracted over 1,595 people to private viewings. More than 8,160 people have seen the Braziliality exhibitions. In these three years, Braziliality will have worked in partnership with The Brazilian Embassy in London, Forman’s Smokehouse Gallery, Made in Brasil Bar, Jungle Drums Magazine, Leros Magazine, Record Television, Canal Londres, Latin America Bureau, ABC Trust, Visual Brasil Festival in Barcelona, Deslocamentos in Berlin, Fourth Plinth Pedal Power project, Planarama, Abelha Cachaca and Favela Chic and we hope to be working with many more interesting people, business and organizations in the future.

Braziliality produces art shows, networking events, exhibitions and festivals working together with Brazilian organizations and events in Europe.
