Airports: The Waiting Place
Photography from Gil Sibin
From 5th November - 2nd December 2009

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
Fresh after its sixth edition, the Festival Visual Brasil that happens in Barcelona its bringing to London some of its best videos and electronic images.
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.
The videos for this edition are a special selection isnpired in the theme of "Displacements" or "Deslocamentos" from curator and organizer of the festival, Ricardo Cancado.

Add to my calendarBraziliality is a permanent art exhibition launching new artists every month. Welcoming Brazilian artists' works and international artists who made works inspired in Brazil, the idea is to understand the Brazilian artistic cultural influence and roots across the globe, gaining different perspectives of Brazilian art.
The 16mm Deli Cafe & Screening Room offers one gallery room and a private HD screening room with 17 places, what gives opportunity for different art-forms to be exhibited. Every month, Braziliality present the new exhibition with a Private View evening event that has received up to 50 people including friends of the artists, and influential contacts from the curator and the cafe owners; making this special night with a very interesting atmosphere and a smart occasion for networking.
The event begun in July 2008, Braziliality had the pleasure to share the talent of international artists between photographers, film makers, fashion designer, painter, choreographer and multi-media artists.
Braziliality is designed and curated by Alicia Bastos working in partnership with 16mm Deli Cafe & Screening Room in Soho, London.
