MELODIES OF THE WEAVES, curated by Alejandra Muñoz and Graça Bueno:
The exhibition "Melodies of the Weaves - From Genaro de Carvalho to Jorge Cravo", jointly curated by Alejandra Muñoz and Graça Bueno, has been open since March 29th and runs through June 21st, at the gallery space located in the Jardins district of São Paulo. The show brings together works by nine important Brazilian tapestry artists: Genaro de Carvalho, Jacques Douchez, Norberto Nicola, Jean Gillon, Rubem Dario, Sylvio Palma, Maria Helena Andrés, Gilda Azevedo, and Jorge Cravo.
The gallery s setting was carefully designed and features rare and iconic furniture pieces by some of the great names of modern design, such as the master Joaquim Tenreiro (1906-1992), the Danish designer Arne Vodder (1926-2009), as well as pieces from the gallery s vintage collection. The space also includes exclusive reissues of works by artist and designer Jean Gillon (1919-2007), along with contemporary rock crystal lighting created by designer and antiques specialist Cida Santana.
One of the missions of the Gallery is to rescue memory and value national historical design and tapestry and, therefore, is a precursor to holding exhibitions in honor of Brazilian masters, designers and modern artists.
Its exhibitions generate book publications through the Gallery by its own research and curation and by guest curators. The Gallery also produces short documentaries about its exhibitions and releases other short films and interviews related to its favorite designers and artists.
The traditional brand Passado Composto was founded in 1988 by antique dealer Cida Santana on Rua da Consolação, São Paulo, Brazil.
From the foundation until 2002, her daughter Maria das Graças S. Bueno was responsible for the international acquisition of antiques for the family business in Brazil. In 2002, Graça founded her second location on Alameda Lorena, in Jardins, São Paulo, Galeria Passado Composto Século XX, focusing on modern Brazilian furniture and artistic ta pestries from the 20th century.
