Transe

Gomide&Co and Act Arte are pleased to present Transe [Trance], a group show organized in collaboration with Fernando Ticoulat, who also wrote the critical essay. The opening will take place on August 30 at 3 PM.

Bringing together artists from different generations and approaches, the exhibition proposes a journey that explores art as an active means of reorganizing meaning, language, and perception. Through diverse mediums and perspectives, it examines how technical and symbolic processes structure artistic creation in dialogue with historical, cultural, and technological transformations. “Art is a field of energetic condensation in sensitive form, of the cosmic within the intimate, [...] that reconfigures the world from its core,” says Ticoulat.

The exhibition's concept draws from the radical imaginary of the 1960s and 70s, marked by counterculture, psychedelia, social struggles, scientific discoveries, and spiritual quests—when science alone no longer sufficed to explain the expanding boundaries of the mind, time, and reality. Transe invites a plunge into practices that operate through transformation: works as open systems, in constant activation, that not only represent the world but remake it. The exhibition includes works by Luiza Crosman, Antonio Dias, Rubens Gerchman, Karla Knight, Montez Magno, Cildo Meireles, Mira Schendel, Camile Sproesser, Megumi Yuasa, among others.
