MELODIES OF THE WEAVES, curated by Alejandra Muñoz in two editions:
Opening on Saturday, March 29th, at the gallery space in Jardins, São Paulo, a parallel exhibition to the SP-Arte show will be held, titled Melodies of the Weaves - From Genaro de Carvalho to Jorge Cravo. The exhibition, with joint curation by Graça Bueno, will feature works by nine prominent Brazilian tapestry artists: Genaro de Carvalho, Jacques Douchez, Norberto Nicola, Jean Gillon, Rubem Dario, Sylvio Palma, Maria Helena Andrés, Gilda Azevedo, and Jorge Cravo.
From April 2 to 6, the gallery will participate in SP-Arte 2025, in the Design Sector, at booth DS 06, with an exhibition honoring the Bahian artist Aminthas Jorge Cravo (1927-2015), known as Cravinho. Titled Jorge Cravo - Melodies of the Weaves, the exhibition will highlight a unique collection of tapestries and drawings that translate, through colors and shapes, the musicality of Cravinho's art. The setting will feature rare and iconic pieces of modern design by renowned figures such as master Joaquim Tenreiro (1906-1992), Danish designer Arne Vodder (1926-2009), exclusive reissues by artist and designer Jean Gillon (1919-2007), and contemporary rock crystal lamps by designer and antiquarian 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.
