A Galeria Fortes Vila�a e a Galeria Bergamin t�m o prazer de apresentar a coletiva Nus. Com trabalhos de 57 artistas em linguagens variadas, a exposi��o utiliza o �nu� como ponto de conex�o entre a produ��o contempor�nea e aquela de artistas modernos. A sele��o de trabalhos identifica reinterpreta��es do desenho de modelo vivo, refer�ncias � Hist�ria da Arte e � recorr�ncia da pose, �como signo de propor��o e harmonia, atitude pol�tica ou estrat�gia de sedu��o. Outro aspecto importante � a rela��o entre o interesse formal pelo nu e os discursos sobre g�nero, fragilidade e fragmenta��o do corpo. Na Galeria Fortes Vila�a a �nfase � no segmento er�tico, onde destacam-se trabalhos como Fernanda Lima - Rio de Janeiro, 2004, foto de Mario Testino na qual a atriz aparece inteiramente nua, e Censura, 1970, de Farnese de Andrade, um desenho no qual figuras aparecem numa orgia com ret�ngulos vermelhos sobre o sexo. A intersec��o entre diferentes �pocas acontece na rela��o entre as pinturas Eletric Ladyland, de Luiz Zerbini e A Mulata, de Di Cavalcanti, e tamb�m nas recentes fotos de Marcelo Krasilcic, que se aproximam �s de Alair Gomes, tiradas nos anos 1970. Na galeria Bergamin, concentram-se os trabalhos que fazem refer�ncia aos Nus hist�ricos. Na pintura Loverboy, o jovem americano TM Davy se apropria da Olympia, 1863, de Edouard Manet, colocando no lugar da c�lebre jovem, um rapaz nu com o p�nis ereto. Alone (Otahi), 2006, de Vik Muniz, � tamb�m uma vers�o contempor�nea de uma pintura impressionista, desta vez de Paul Gauguin. Um outro Nu � assinado por Chaguin, um pintor impressionista inventado pelos artistas japoneses contempor�neos Hiroshi Sugito e Yoshitomo Nara. Outras Vanguardas Modernas, o Renascimento e at� mesmo uma V�nus pr�-hist�rica, aparecem nas fotos do americano Mitch Epstein, nas obras da carioca Laura Lima e na escultura da paulistana Erika Verzutti. Um terceiro grupo de obras tem como eixo central a fragmenta��o. Nas obras de Odires Ml�zho, Marcos Chaves, Ivan Serpa e do americano Joshua Callagham, o corpo aparece distorcido, duplicado, e at� mesmo, em dissolu��o. Nus � uma oportunidade �nica para que o p�blico presencie o encontro de obras de artistas brasileiros de diferentes gera��es, bem como trabalhos de artistas internacionais. A mostra abre o calend�rio de exposi��es 2009 da galeria e fica em cartaz por um longo per�odo, at� dia 04 de abril. [English] Galeria Fortes Vila�a and Galeria Bergamin are pleased to present the group show Nudes. With works by 57 artists in various languages, the exhibition uses the �nude� as a connecting point between contemporary art and modern art. The selection of artworks identifies reinterpretations of the drawing of live models, references to art history and to a recurrence of the pose � as a sign of proportion and harmony, a political attitude or a strategy for seduction. Another important aspect is the relation between the formal interest in the nude and the discourses concerning gender, fragility, and the fragmentation of the body. At Galeria Fortes Vila�a the emphasis is on the erotic segment, with outstanding artworks that include Fernanda Lima � Rio de Janeiro, 2004, a photo by Mario Testino in which the actress appears entirely nude, and Censura [Censored], 1970, by Farnese de Andrade, a drawing in which the figures appear in an orgy with red rectangles over their intimate parts. The intersection between different eras takes place in the relation between the paintings Eletric Ladyland, by Luiz Zerbini and A Mulata [Mulatto Woman], by Di Cavalcanti, and also in the recent photos by Marcelo Krasilcic, which recall those by Alair Gomes, taken in the 1970s. At Galeria Bergamin the focus is on artworks that make reference to historical nudes. In the painting Loverboy, American artist TM Davy appropriates Olympia, 1863, by Edouard Manet, replacing the famous young woman with a nude young male with an erect penis. Alone (Otahi), 2006, by Vik Muniz, is also a contemporary version of an impressionist painting, this time by Paul Gauguin. Another nude is signed by Chaguin, an impressionist painter invented by the Japanese contemporary artists Hiroshi Sugito and Yoshitomo Nara. Other modern vanguard references, artworks from the Renaissance, and even a prehistoric Venus appear in the photos by American photographer Mitch Epstein, in the works by Rio de Janeiro artist Laura Lima and in the sculpture by S�o Paulo artist Erika Verzutti. A third group of works deals with fragmentation. In the pieces by the artists Odires Ml�zho, Marcos Chaves and Ivan Serpa, and in those by American artist Joshua Callagham, the body appears distorted, duplicated, and even in a state of dissolution. Nus is a unique opportunity for the public to experience the encounter of works by Brazilian artists from different generations, and by international artists. The show opens the gallery�s calendar of exhibitions for 2009, and will enjoy a long run, until April 4th.
