Angela Detanico et Rafael Lain / Perspective

Respectively a semiotician and graphic designer by training, Angela Detanico and Rafael Lain have been working together since 1996. They represented Brazil in its pavilion at the 2007 Venice Biennale. Fascinated by what is beyond human beings and their understanding of the world around them, the artists conduct scientific, mathematical and literary research from which they draw systems for representing and writing time, space, memory and the infinite. Their approach is inherited from the conceptual statement and rooted in the use of new means of creating graphic, plastic and sound art. It expresses itself in a rigorous, clean formalism that is highly poetic. At the CRP/, they will present a set of new works that will play with “perspectives” and different regimes of the image.
