Iole de Freitas – Body/Space
Iole de Freitas – Body/Space presents a panorama of the artist’s work and language, throughout 40 years, in image, writing and other materials that precede or follow her creative process. They are studies, schemes, sketches, notes and drafts. In order to build this book, the artist dove deep into her personal archive, currently housed at IAC (Contemporary Art Institute) in São Paulo. Among the material, over ten thousand pieces produced from 1972 to 2018, featuring her primordial interest in the body and in reinventing space.
