Aberto [Open]: Culture Kiosk

by Fabiana de Barros

Overview

Created by artist Fabiana de Barros in 1998, when she took part in an artistic exchange between Switzerland, Brazil, and France, in João Pessoa (state of Paraíba), the Fiteiro Cultural [Culture Kiosk] had the intention of being an ideal space, capable of transforming into an atelier, a stage, an exhibition venue, or a place suited for resting, reading, and thinking.This second edition of Aberto [Open]: Culture Kiosk reinterprets and updates the work whose name it bears. The book was strengthened in its function of recording, analyzing, and displaying the visual memory of the structure and the impact of the Fiteiro Cultural in the cities it has visited and on the people that dedicated their reflection to it.

About the Author

Fabiana de Barros graduated in fine arts from Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado in São Paulo (FAAP) in 1983. Between 1988 and 1991, she took a graduate degree in multimedia at École Supérieure d'Art Visuel in Geneva, Switzerland. Prominent among her performances, video installations and web art is the work Fiteiro Cultural, presented since 1998 in Brazil and abroad and exhibited at the 8th Havana Biennial, Cuba (2003), World Cultural Forum, São Paulo (2004), 7th Mercosul Biennial, Porto Alegre, and U-TOPICS 11th Swiss Sculpture Exhibition, Switzerland (2009). This work resulted in the book Aberto [OPEN] Ouvert, published in 2004 by Sesc São Paulo. Since 1989, she has managed the photographic archive of Geraldo de Barros and organized important exhibitions dedicated to the artist at the Ludwig Museum in Germany, Sesc Pompeia and Pinheiros, São Paulo, Musée de l'Elysée, Switzerland and MoMA in New York. She coordinated the publication of the books Sobras (Remains) and Fotoformas (Photoforms), which reproduce most of the photographic work of Geraldo de Barros, by the publisher Cosac Naify. In 1996, she produced in partnership with Tatu Filmes the feature film Geraldo de Barros – Sobras em obras (Geraldo de Barros – Remains in Works), on the life and work of Geraldo de Barros, directed by Michel Favre and screened at the Visions du Réel film festival in Nyon, Switzerland, at the International Film Festival in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and at the Millenium Film Festival in Szolnok, Hungary. The film was commercially distributed in Switzerland, broadcast on several TV channels worldwide and received awards in Geneva, Rio de Janeiro and Hungary.
