In the next SP—Arte, DAN presents itself in two spaces, one dedicated to historical production and the other to contemporary production, reaffirming a line of action that crosses its trajectory: attention to great names in sculpture and to artists whose work consistently articulates construction, geometry, spatiality and formal invention.

Among the highlights is a mural panel by Alfredo Volpi, created in 1957 for the residence of the architect João Kon, in São Paulo. The work concentrates some of the strongest points of Volpi’s production in the 1950s: the dialogue with geometric language, the permanence of manual invoicing, and the inclusion of painting in close relationship with the built space. As Pedro Machado Mastrobuono observes, “this panel belongs to a unique moment in Volpi’s trajectory, often associated with the dialogue that the artist established in the 1950s with the geometric language that permeated the environment of so-called

São Paulo concretism”.

The presentation also includes works by Jesús Soto, a Venezuelan artist who is central to Latin American kinetic art, at a time when his production is once again gaining institutional attention with the exhibition announced by MASP, and works by the artist Ismael Nery, who will be the subject of a retrospective at the Pinacoteca. With a strong representation of sculptural artists, the gallery will present fundamental works by Franz Weissmann, who will have a solo show at DAN itself this year, Tony Cragg, a reference in international contemporary sculpture, León Ferrari, and Thomas Schönauer, a German artist whose research articulates industry, structural calculation

and plastic language.
