Marcelo Cidade: Blind Wall

Blind Wall shows the paths taken by artist Marcelo Cidade for the production of some of his works. The starting point of Cidade’s work is an intense experience in the urban environment of São Paulo, based on his connection with groups of skaters and graffiti artists. Later, it unfolds into an investigation of the possibilities of making art between the public space of the city and the private (or semi-public) space of galleries and museums.
