Daniel Buren

Known worldwide for his public interventions featuring his trademark white and colored stripes, the iconic conceptual artist has had his work shown occasionally in Brazil (at the São Paulo Art Biennial in 1983 and 1985 and at the Hélio Oiticica Municipal Art Center in 2001). After a 14-year span without an exhibit devoted entirely to his work, from 24.03 to 02.05 he will show interventions created especially for the gallery in Ipanema.

For Galeria Nara Roesler in Rio de Janeiro, besides creating a brand new installation along the lines of his latest pieces, Buren (b.1938, France) will likely take advantage of the hallway skylight to create his color-and-light games, whereby spectators watch as their commonplace perception gets altered into a new, playful order.
