Photographs and objects are part of the OVA exhibition, Maristela Müller's first solo exhibition, held at the Cultural Foundation Badesc

O Paulo Gaiad Space of the Badesc Cultural Foundation, in the center of Florianópolis, will receive from the 17th of October, the OVA exposure, by visual artist Maristela Müller. The opening is scheduled for 19:XNUMX on Thursday and admission is free. OVA, title of Maristela's first solo show, comes from Latin and the word designates the plural of egg, as well as the bag full of fish eggs. In this exhibition, the artist presents photographs and artistic objects that refer to fertility and can represent eggs and eggs of any animal. The name also refers to the expression an ova, which expresses denial and repudiation, creating a poetic counterpoint. Balancing between beauty and disgust, morbidity and fertility, between nature and the human creative act, the set of works, when seen from afar, draws attention for their delicacy, but when observed closely they can seem repugnant. Creating a mixture of affection and discomfort, of enthusiasm and denial of our fertile context. The works that make up the exhibition, selected by the Foundation's 2019 Public Notice in the First Individual Category, which aims to encourage and support artists at the beginning of their careers, were developed from 2016 to early 2019, together with the art group called Sopro Coletivo, which meets once or twice a month at the State University of Santa Catarina (UDESC). The Badesc Cultural Foundation is located at Rua Visconde de Ouro Preto, 216, in the Center of the Capital and OVA, by Maristela Müller can be visited free of charge until November 22, always from Tuesday to Saturday, from 12 pm to 19 pm.
