At ArPa 2025, Almeida & Dale presents a duo show featuring artists Lais Myrrha (1974, Belo Horizonte) and Vivian Caccuri (1986, São Paulo).

The gallery’s presentation at the fair includes works from Céu de Brasília, a series by Myrrha begun in 2023 and first shown in her solo exhibition Fundamentos da Pedra, in São Paulo that same year, alongside pieces from Sonograma, one of the longest-running series in Vivian Caccuri’s career, in which graphic representations of sound are transformed through the artist’s gestural interventions.

Myrrha explores the instruments that mediate the occupation of space and the legitimization of official history, revealing the relationship between physical and symbolic sites and highlighting the arbitrary nature of power discourses embedded in conventions and systems of representation.

Meanwhile, Caccuri investigates musical cultures and sound production in a broad sense, proposing sonic experiments that go beyond the auditory field to encompass the visual, corporeal, and technological. Her works create situations that disorient everyday experience and disrupt culturally and cognitively entrenched perceptions.

The convergence of works stemming from such distinct research practices ultimately reveals a shared impulse in both artists: to engage with objects that transcend the scale of the individual body and play a role in shaping collective experience. The sculptures, objects, and installations found in both of their practices serve as vehicles for reflections on the agents — from the most concrete to the nearly imperceptible — that influence the course of history and individual and social behaviors.

Together, the works are also connected by surfaces traversed by lines — meshes that evoke construction sites, grid plans, and the modernist grid, symbols that are analyzed, strained, and challenged by the artists.
