The exhibition design developed for the exhibition “Quilombo: life, problems, and aspirations of the Black community,” on display at Galeria Lago/Instituto Inhotim until July 16, 2023, aimed to create exhibition supports that allowed for the thematic grouping of works in a subtle way, without creating enclosed spaces, thus maintaining the connection between the entire set of works.
Galeria Lago presented spatial challenges due to its depth and high ceiling. Its geometry creates voids that allow viewers to see works from each thematic group without losing the unity of the space. There was a concern to create a support system that would accommodate the particularities of each work, while still maintaining a visual and constructive unity. Although mostly composed of paintings, the works presented a diversity of techniques, dimensions, styles, and colors. The entire system developed was designed to allow for the reuse of the supports in future installations at the Institute.
