Cosmologia de exposições: uma escrita-análise da produção de projetos individuais.

Abstract

In this Final Paper for the Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), I analyzed the layers of work related to the production of my two solo exhibitions that began my professional career as an artist. Through the theoretical perspective of Exhibition Histories (Cypriano & Oliveira, 2017; Zago, 2021), and the concept of Artist-etc (Basbaum, 2013), I established an artist's writing (Cotrim & Ferreira, 2006) that constitutes itself as an amalgam between a diary about exhibition’s development, as in Fooquedeu (Ramos, 2016), and historical documentation (Fundação Bienal de São Paulo, 2004). From the case study of my first two solo exhibitions, which took place simultaneously and were developed in the year 2023 in the city of João Pessoa (PB), it was possible to contribute to the history of visual arts exhibitions in the state of Paraíba, Brazil. The study also involved qualitative research through reflections, photographs, written reports and other documents generated by the two events.
