About the exhibition
The exhibition uses the symbolism of water as a starting point to approach the conceptual and affective connections of the members and guests of Fonte, a collective studio, artistic residence and exhibition space in São Paulo.
In a total of more than 50 works in techniques such as painting, drawing, objects, and sculptures, the relationships developed in the space are transfigured in a philosophical scope, where the physical environment is perpetuated through the connections it makes possible.
The exhibition presents a wide variety of media and languages, bringing reflections about human connections and the role of physical space in the formation of these relationships.
