Galeria Inox

Brígida Baltar (Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, 1959). Multimedia artist. In the late 1980s, she attended the Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage (EAV/Parque Lage) and participated in “Grupo Visorama” in Rio de Janeiro. During this period, she created “Abrigo” (Shelter), in which she projected the shape of her body carved into the wall of her home-studio, as well as the “Estrutura” (Structure) series, which employed bricks to compose the works. She frequently documented her actions in photographs and short films, as seen in the project “Umidades” (Humidities), carried out between 1994 and 2001, based on collecting natural and transient elements, such as mist or dew, during excursions to Serra das Araras and Serra dos Órgãos in Rio de Janeiro. At the 25th São Paulo International Biennial in 2002, she presented “Casa da Abelha” (Bee House), comprising photographs, videos, and drawings. Later that same year, she presented the exhibition “Coleta da Neblina” (Collecting Mist) at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Cleveland, United States.
