Inevitably, they won’t be as they were. That’s not all bad, but it takes some work. And it’s the work itself, not the results, that matters.
Read MoreCurated by Tereza de Arruda, Linhas da Vida [Lifelines] features works spanning from the outset of Shiota’s career, in 1994, up to brand new installations inspired by Brazil.
