Asc芒nio MMM: Prism and Quacors
Casa Tri芒ngulo is pleased to present "Prism and Quacors", Asc芒nio MMM's second solo exhibition at the gallery, curated by and text by Guilherme Wisnik.
The spatial pieces by Asc芒nio MMM have a public bent, springing from their basic link with the constructivist tradition and, more specifically, a proximity with architecture and with the notion of structure. For this reason many of his works have been installed in open spaces, outside galleries or museums. In the case of this exhibition, the pyramidal typology, referring to historical totemic forms, is combined with a new, more open and abstract work (Quasos/Prisma 1), whose scale allows people to penetrate its interior space and cross through it. Its diaphanous consistency denotes an intense dialogue with modern architecture, for which the dilution of borders between inside and outside is essential in the construction of a continuous spatiality. And, not by chance, the volume of the piece gets thinner until delicately touching the ground, to float in space, as in the serial porticos of MAM in Rio de Janeiro, by Affonso Eduardo Reidy.
