Tohu Wa-Bohu
June 6 – July 11, 2014
Bolsa de Arte
SP / RS Brazil
Tohu wa-Bohu, surge de um termo hebraico que se refere, no Gênesis, ao universo antes da criação. De difícil tradução, o espectro de sua interpretação ocupa desde a ideia de ruína até a de uma dimensão de infinita potência que nos permite aproximações com o Tao, por ser algo que não se pode expressar; e o Big Bang, por ser um paradoxal não-tempo que antecede o instante zero.

The Cultural Association Subterranea Studio is an independent art space that hosts exhibitions, workshops, chats, film and book launches, performances, and other activities related to contemporary art. The goal is to gather and provide dialogue between different audiences that have interest in the visual art scene.
It reviews the Abstraction in Action project in the article “Por onde andamos: Túlio Pinto integra a plataforma Abstract in Action” (Where to walk: Abstract in Action platform integrates Túlio Pinto).
“With the initial goal of producing an exhibition that illustrates the experimental and innovative nature of contemporary abstraction in Latin America, the developers of the Abstract in Action project soon discovered such a rich setting of this production that expanded their goals. Through the partnership between Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, curator of Abstract in Action, and Sayago & Pardon Collection, which focuses on contemporary Latin American abstraction, the virtual platform has been developed, which today serves as a reference for research and promotion of abstract art in Latin America.
Abstract in Action is defined as an area of ongoing collaboration that seeks to incorporate multiple voices of artists, curators, writers and researchers. Among the members of this network is Tulio Pinto, who composes the platform with information and pictures of various projects developed over the years. Besides the network of artists, the project has a collection of various texts and articles on the subject, and specific space for disclosure of events related to the theme.”

January 12, 2014 Túlio Pinto https://abstractioninaction.com/artists/tulio-pinto/Over the past five years, I have developed a research work in sculpture and installation with industrial materials which denote, in the constitution and the way they are presented, my intention to hold encounters of different strengths and temperaments; of oppositions that support each other at their possible limits. In my visual speech that I seek to generate, I establish the dialogue through the laws of the world, metaphors that point to the “being’s” existence; where transformation and impermanence, from the subtlety of possible balance, translate into a place of experience and reflection.
Traducido del inglés
En los últimos cinco años he desarrollado un trabajo de investigación en la escultura e instalación con materiales industriales que denotan, en su constitución y la forma que son presentados, mi intención de contener encuentros de diferentes fuerzas y temperamentos; de oposiciones que se apoyan unas a las otras dentro de sus límites posibles. En mi discurso visual busco generar, estableciendo el diálogo por medio de las leyes del mundo, metáforas que apuntan a la existencia del ser, donde la transformación e impermanencia, desde lo sutil del posible balance, se traducen a un lugar de experiencia y reflexión.
