An extensively migratory background shaped the artistic language of Mira Schendel. Born in Switzerland in 1919, Schendel escaped from Italy to Yugoslavia and eventually settled in Brazil, where her artistic palette irrevocably metamorphosed. ‘Schendel asks, ‘What is language, but what else can we do with language?’’ says curator and art historian Yuval Etgar (@yuvaletgar).

At London’s @luxembourg_co, Etgar joins Brazilian sculptor Anderson Borba (@borbaa) to trace the path of an artist whose rich life story embeds to the work she produced. ‘As a Brazilian, I can see her,’ he says. ‘I can imagine her in Brazil and fully forgetting that she came from anywhere else.’

There is distinctive multiplicity within Schendel’s paintings, drawings and sculptures: lightness, humour and simplicity as well as boldness, texture and conceptual depth. As Etgar puts it, ‘These very delicate and small expressions are each a universe.’

Anderson Borba’s solo show “Fugido” is on view at FDAG Barra Funda, in São Paulo, through this Saturday (Aug 1),

“I like to think that Borba’s sculptures have a life of their own: once upright, they travel their paths, murmuring their silent, aesthetic vocabularies. And as if that were not enough, this semantic wellspring overflows with a sensuality that insinuates itself through body and fashion – stemming from the artist’s early training,” — Bernardo José de Souza in the critical essay accompanying the exhibition.

“Agrada-me pensar que as esculturas de Borba têm vida própria: uma vez em pé, percorrem suas sendas, balbuciam seus vocabulários silenciosos, estéticos. Como não bastasse, sobrevém a esse manancial semântico uma sensualidade que se insinua por meio dos corpos, e da moda, parte da formação inicial do artista” — Bernardo José de Souza no ensaio crítico que acompanha a exposição.

Anderson Borba’s solo show “Fugido” is on view at FDAG Barra Funda, in São Paulo.

Borba’s sculptures evoke archaeological artifacts, digitally manipulated images, and the languages of modern abstraction while engaging with folk art and Afro-Brazilian spiritual traditions. The exhibition layout lends the works an occult and conspiratorial dimension, as if the figures had gathered in ceremony, parade, or secret assembly.

Anderson Borba’s new solo show “Fugido” opens tomorrow (June 10) at FDAG Barra Funda, from 6 to 9 pm.

“A parade of entities crosses the gallery diagonally. These are sculptural bodies made from fragments of organic, inorganic, and artificial matter – anthropomorphic beings whose hybrid nature evokes an indeterminate existential dimension, at once past, present, and future, as real as they are fictional. This procession of figures forged from wood, stone, bronze, clay, paper, and aluminum signals a physical form in constant mutation.” writes Bernardo José de Souza in the critical essay accompanying the exhibition.

“Um desfile de entidades cruza a galeria no sentido diagonal.

Esta procissão de figuras forjadas em madeira, pedra, bronze, argila, papel e alumínio sinaliza uma forma física em constante mutação (...),” escreve Bernardo José de Souza @bersouza no ensaio crítico que acompanha a mostra.

“Fugido,” Anderson Borba’s new exhibition, opens on June 10 at FDAG Barra Funda, featuring sculptures, reliefs, and collages produced with organic, industrial, and found materials such as wood, stone, bronze, clay, paper, and aluminum.

Arranged in procession throughout the gallery, the works take the form of hybrid anthropomorphic bodies marked by an unstable physicality and references that move between ancestral forms and otherworldly imaginaries. Relating to one another as parts of a larger organism, the works activate an animistic potential through the interplay between material, gesture, and abstract presence.

“Fugido,” nova exposição de Anderson Borba abre no dia 10.06 na FDAG Barra Funda, reunindo esculturas, relevos e colagens produzidos com materiais orgânicos, industriais e encontrados, como madeira, pedra, bronze, argila, papel e alumínio.

Dispostas em procissão ao longo da galeria, as obras assumem a forma de corpos antropomórficos híbridos, marcados por uma fisicalidade instável e por referências que vão desde formas ancestrais a imaginários extraterrestres. Relacionando-se entre si como partes de um organismo maior, as obras ativam um potencial animista por meio da interação entre matéria, gesto e presença abstrata.

Today was the last day to see The Unearthed @campleline in Scotland, and the whole experience was beyond words.
Thank you, Tina Fiske and the whole Cample Line team for the amazing invitation. It was an absolute dream and such a pleasure to work with this incredible team. The show and the whole experience were truly magical.
A big thank you to my gorgeous husband @husbandjf2020 Joshua for sharing all your amazing skills and support, and to Bernardo de Souza @bersouza for the incredible text.
Thank you as well to the @approachgallery and @fortesdaloiagabriel teams for making all the crazy logistics work and for helping bring this project all the way from Brazil to Scotland.
The only thing I can say is thank you. Thank you a thousand times to everyone who made this possible @cristianak__ @dedkson @analudomicent ❤️❤️❤️ taken in CAMPLE LINE by @borbaa

“The Unearthed,” a solo exhibition by Anderson Borba is on view at Cample Line in Dumfriesshire, Scotland.

The works seem to inhabit a heightened natural order of their own. Borba’s practice suggests an imagined cosmology that brings together references to European and Brazilian modernism with elements that resonate with self-taught artists from inner Brazil and ancestral belief systems.

Working primarily with locally sourced found wood—alongside cardboard, textile, plaster, and found images from books and magazines—Borba develops forms through carving, hollowing, scorching, pressing, painting, and gluing. The sculptures appear enigmatic and hybrid, at once animal, plant, humanoid, and otherworldly.

“The Unearthed”, exposição individual de Anderson Borba, está em exibição na Cample Line, em Dumfriesshire, Escócia.

As obras parecem habitar sua própria ordem natural intensificada. A prática de Borba sugere uma cosmologia imaginada que reúne referências ao modernismo europeu e brasileiro com elementos que ressoam com artistas autodidatas do interior do Brasil e sistemas de crença ancestrais.

Trabalhando principalmente com madeira encontrada — ao lado de materiais como papelão, tecido, gesso e imagens retiradas de livros e revistas — Borba desenvolve suas formas por meio de processos de entalhe,, queima, prensagem, pintura e colagem. As esculturas surgem como formas enigmáticas e híbridas, ao mesmo tempo animais, vegetais, humanoides e extraterrestres.

Anderson Borba presents “Black Faun” (2026), the artist’s first outdoor sculpture, in “The Storytellers,” a group show curated by Iwona Blazwick e Katie Fallen at Worcester College, Oxford.

The figure of the faun—poised between human and animal, body and instinct, and often bound to music—offers a useful lens for Borba’s piece, where bronze, wood, and stone converge into an “almost-body” composed of abstract fragments. Rather than coalescing into a stable figure, these volumes suggest a material and sensorial presence, while a form recalling a flute introduces the idea of breath and latent sound, as if the work were organized around an invisible, animating force.

Anderson Borba @borbaa apresenta “Black Faun” (2026), sua primeira escultura ao ar livre, em “The Storytellers”, mostra coletiva com curadoria de Iwona Blazwick e Katie Fallen no Worcester College, em Oxford.

A figura do fauno—situada entre humano e animal, corpo e instinto, e frequentemente associada à música—oferece uma chave de leitura para a obra de Borba, na qual bronze, madeira e pedra convergem em um “quase-corpo” composto por fragmentos abstratos. Em vez de se consolidarem em uma figura estável, esses volumes sugerem uma presença material e sensorial, enquanto uma forma que evoca uma flauta introduz a ideia de sopro e som latente, como se a escultura se organizasse em torno de uma força invisível e animadora.
