Nem sempre os grupos de desenvolvimento de artistas que coordeno resultam em exposições, esse não é o objetivo inicial. Mas essa turma decidiu que queria expor junto.

A exposição é resultado de uma esfera comum que possibilitou, entre artistas tão diferentes entre si, a partilha de tempo, atenção, risadas, medos, críticas, sugestões, referências, técnicas, estratégias, sonhos e o desejo de que suas obras fossem mostradas assim, juntas, em diálogo e fricção.

A não uniformidade nos interessa. Entre memórias vividas e inventadas, atravessadas pelo cotidiano urbano, paira algo de incerteza, algo de precário, algo de inconcluso, algo que flerta com um momento tão fugaz quanto um flash, mas também com aquilo que nos habita por gerações. Nesses fragmentos de pulsão de vida, se expressa o desejo de reter o que se esvai e de resgatar aquilo que queremos ser, que queremos para o mundo. Sigamos fortalecendo e expandindo espaços comuns, onde possamos coexistir em nossas diferenças frente às incertezas que o mundo nos apresenta.

Post escrito com trechos do texto crítico que escrevi para a exposição.

Ani Cuenca’s practice places material at the center of artistic inquiry. Drawing from her architectural background, she explores the relationship between matter, structure, tension, and the conditions that allow a form to persist once its original function has been exhausted. Her work engages with ordinary materials marked by use, friction, and time—sandpaper, coconut wax, brass, textiles, and domestic remnants—reconfiguring them through processes of assembly, suspension, repetition, and displacement.

Friction becomes a central operation: what is traditionally associated with erosion becomes surface, structure, and support. This reversal allows Cuenca to investigate the unstable boundary between fragility and permanence, where forms remain standing without ever becoming fully secure. Wax, metals, and abrasive surfaces register contact and transformation, turning material into an active record of time.

Through sculpture and installation, Cuenca constructs precarious systems in which matter does not simply occupy space—it negotiates with it. Her work asks what remains, what holds, and what continues to exist despite wear.

Ontem foi dia de celebrar a nova loja @shoulder no coração da Vila Nova Conceição, bairro que amo aqui em São Paulo.

O espaço une moda, arquitetura, arte e natureza. Está deslumbrante e muito acolhedor ao mesmo tempo. Tem que visitar e sentir!

Uma honra participar dessa comemoração linda, ao lado de tantas pessoas incríveis.

In Ani Cuenca’s practice, material is not a support but an active agent in the production of meaning. Drawing from her architectural background, she constructs systems where structure, rhythm, repetition, and balance are constantly tested through friction. Sandpaper, wax, pumice stone, metals, textiles, and objects marked by use form a material vocabulary in which wear becomes a generative force rather than a sign of deterioration.

Her works investigate the fragile conditions that allow something to remain standing. In pieces such as Axis of Permanence and Inventory of Frictions, stability emerges not through solidity, but through negotiation between weight, gravity, adhesion, tension, and time. The industrial and the malleable coexist in precarious configurations where materials absorb traces, register contact, and accumulate histories.

Moving between sculpture and spatial installation, Cuenca transforms architectural principles into unstable fields of relation. Her practice ultimately asks what it means for matter to persist: not as an assertion of permanence, but as a continuous negotiation with friction, transformation, and decay.

Ani Cuenca develops a sculptural and installation-based practice in which architecture, matter, and tension converge through precarious structures of balance. Her research begins with ordinary, materially worn elements—sandpaper, wax, brass, textiles, and found objects—which she displaces from their original functions to investigate relationships between erosion, permanence, and resistance.

With an increasingly established exhibition trajectory, Cuenca has participated in group exhibitions, art salons, festivals, and biennials in Brazil and internationally. Her exhibition record includes @fibra_bienal FIBRA – Bienal de Arte Têxtil, @coletivo.correntedear V Corrente de Ar in Lisbon, @affordableartfairnyc the 39th Chelsea International Fine Art Competition at Agora Gallery in New York, as well as contemporary art salons and curated projects across São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Piracicaba, and Santo André. In 2026, her practice extends into the independent art-fair circuit through @radar_arte Radar – Feira de Arte Independente, further consolidating a trajectory marked by an expanding presence across diverse platforms for the exhibition and circulation of contemporary art.
