About the Item

100 x 150cm (40 x 60 inches) Edition of 4 Emerging far from the spectacle of Rio’s Sambodrome, Bate Bola by French artist Vincent Rosenblatt reveals a parallel carnival rooted in the suburbs and favelas, where excess, invention, and ritual converge. These masked figures, simultaneously playful and unsettling, transform the streets into a stage of collective performance, driven not by samba but by the raw pulse of Funk Carioca. Their handmade costumes, lavish in color, volume, and scent, blur boundaries between masculinity and femininity, fantasy and threat, devotion and rebellion. Both celebration and resistance, the Bate Bola phenomenon embodies an uncompromising desire for visibility and belonging. Often ignored by official narratives, it persists as a powerful act of communal identity, where art becomes a shared investment and a rare truce within a fractured city. This work captures that fleeting intensity: a carnival on the margins, radiant, fragile, and defiantly alive.

Pluri-Bol, From the series Ser Cosa, Color Photograph

Pluri-Bol, From the series Ser Cosa, Color Photograph

By RODRIGO ETEM

Located in Miami Beach, FL

This series of portraits that at first glance appear to us as extraterrestrial beings, once we understand the images they become more familiar than they appear, “humans too human” perhaps more human than they appear. And for Adorno's negative dialectic, the problem was given as a human being in a world hostile to humans, the characters of Etem seem so natural to us to the extent that their presence is outside the pose of the portraits of the kings of the past, rather resemble the workers, peasants, common people in general, portrayed by Gustave Courbet or the realists of the mid-19th century, these new realists are captured by the camera in the usual development of their daily lives, in the hostile world of the desert or the swamp or the storm…” In recent years -through the use, production, and appropriation of content hosted on the net- The artist has been developing a body of work that aims to resignify narratives from the files. The series "All the faults of the world", 2021/23 are digital prints printed on Hahnemuhle smooth canvas. The Images are taken by Google Street View (GSV) users that cover a 360º viewing angle and are captured to show everything that is around the subject taking the photograph. These images, uploaded to the application (GSV) are geolocated at the precise point where they were taken so that other users can access them. Due to involuntary human errors in the capture, a small percentage of these images present anomalies because some fragment does not have a record, and a void is produced in the image and an opaque figure without representation. The entry of these anomalies into the system interferes with any attempt to full representation of the world. Motivated by this, the artist in the game "travels the world" from the app, looking to build my collection of failures from around the world. Rodrigo Etem...
