Carlos/Ishikawa presents this group exhibition at Casa Zalszupin, the iconic modernist residence of architect Jorge Zalszupin, who lived there for nearly six decades until his passing in 2020. Organized in collaboration with ETEL and Almeida & Dale, the show brings together works by internationally recognized artists: Korakrit Arunanondchai, Steve Bishop, Josiane M.H. Pozi, Marlene Almeida, and Issy Wood.
Set within this landmark of Brazilian architecture, the exhibition turns the house into both stage and character — a space animated by memory and haunted by absence. Here, Casa Zalszupin becomes a resonant body, where presence and void coexist in delicate tension. Through painting, sculpture, and video, the artists explore themes of mourning, entropy, and the persistence of memory.Their works reverberate through the domestic setting, occupying rooms once inhabited and now re-signified, where the very architecture takes on a spectral dimension. In this presentation, time unfolds in multiple layers; memory and materiality intertwine; absence and grief take form; and each work evokes the sense that something — or someone — lingers just beyond reach. The exhibition is a meditation on what remains: the fragments we preserve, the structures we build, and the land that patiently reclaims everything back to itself.
