Janelas (“windows” in Portuguese) is an initiative by artist Marc Buchy (Metz, 1988) and curator and writer Tiago de Abreu Pinto (Salvador de Bahia, 1984), launched during the pandemic. The idea was to send a series of window envelopes to over 70 artists of 25 different nationalities living in 17 countries. Each envelope contained an invitation to participate, following a precise protocol: to use the inside of the envelope so that the only space to show a work was the “window”. This Mail art process led the artists to experiment with the materiality, spatiality, visibility, humour, political dimension and dissidence of this type of creation.
The programme will bring together a selection of artists including:
