We are delighted to announce that works by Veronika Hapchenko are part of "Linhas Tortas” group exhibition in Mendes Wood DM on view 2.09 - 11.11.2023. The exhibition is curated by Diana Campbell for the 10th anniversary of Mendes Wood DM, coinciding with the São Paulo Biennial.
“Linhas Tortas is a multi-venue international group exhibition that celebrates the entanglements of journeys and the power of storytelling, marking a decade of Mendes Wood DM. Inspired by the Brazilian aphorism “deus escreve certo por linhas tortas”, which literally translates to “ god writes straight with crooked lines” and metaphorically to “god works in mysterious ways”, the show follows complex trails (of thought and of life) that unfold when one sets off with intention but without an end in sight. It takes paths that are not driven by expediency or efficiency, not optimized by supply and demand, but rather ones that avoid the many shortcuts blazed by capitalist and/or colonial forces to better the few at the expense of the many. It questions who had the right to write history, and posits new ways to (re)inscribe profound perspectives and systems of being that were deliberately obscured from view.” - excerpt from the text by curator Diana Campbell
