Lydia Okumura takes part in the exhibition “Cinco ensaios sobre o MASP - Geometrias”, which celebrates the inauguration of MASP's new building, Pietro Maria Bardi.
Opening on March 28, the show, curated by Adriano Pedrosa, Regina Teixeira de Barros and Matheus de Andrade, presents a variety of applications of geometric shapes in art, establishing a dialog between different eras, techniques and cultural perspectives.
“Labyrinth [Variant 2]” is an iconic work developed by Okumura in 1984 for her solo exhibition at the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art. The work, made of steel mesh and painted with primary colors, allows the viewer to move around and inside the work, provoking a juxtaposition of colors in layers.

The Story of Public Art explores what artists do in public spaces. The exhibition draws connections to the lives we live and address, through the artist’s perspective, significant societal themes across time and geography. The exhibition offers an experience of art’s international reach and significance, created in dialogue with its contemporary context. It highlights time-based works that have become landmarks for future generations, as well as pieces that have changed our perception of identity, power structures, biopolitics, desire, labor, social relations, nature, and reality.
