[ ]: Galeria Luisa Strina

Galeria Luisa Strina is delighted to present an exhibition of new work by Rio de Janeiro-based artist Renata Lucas. Lucas’ work often takes the form of architectural interventions within the gallery environment and its surroundings. These playful displacements refocus the viewer’s mind, breaking up the expected. As a result the audience collectively engages with the environment, creating a new social experience.

Lucas begins each project with personal investigation of the chosen site, subverting the social information embedded within the space and its surroundings. Addressing every-day surfaces and structures, the artist offers an alternative approach to spatiality through the introduction of imagination and play. Often, Lucas implies presence by drawing attention to something absent.
