You Going to Brazil Soon? See Marco Maggi.

Marci Maggi

If you are in the neighborhood of Saö Paulo anytime before May 13, then please, go see Marco Maggi's exhibition at Instituto Tomie Ohtake.  Maggi, who divides his time between New York State and Montevideo, Uruguay, has installed an exhibition titled Functional disinformation, drawings in Portuguese.  Maggi, truly one of the nicest people in the world, works with concepts of time and language in his exhibition.  The exhibition includes a large scale paper installation, in which he stacks sheets of paper and carves into some of the sheets.  Maggi is known for this type of installation; the Kemper Museum in Kansas City owns one, plus a couple of his other works.

Maggi notes, "All my work lies on the threshold between two and three dimensions: engraving and drawing, plan and installation, the line that cuts the paper and the micro sculpture."
