Since 2010, Lie has been using organic materials to create largescale pieces that simultaneously grow and decay. Unnamed Entities (2022), a new commission created specifically for the Museum’s Lobby Gallery, incorporates traditional terracotta ceramic vases, jute hemp fabric, natural fiber ropes, straw hay bales, mud with spores and seeds, and thousands of cut flowers. These materials will evolve and transmutate throughout the exhibition as they rot, mold, sprout, and change shapes and hues in unpredictable ways. Lie understands their works to be living entities endowed with awareness and agency, and considers the process of rotting as a way to complicate the binary opposition between life and death.

"Eu Quero Um Presidente" is a collective action of galleries, autonomous spaces, and cultural institutions. There are more than 30 participants from São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte. This action aims to revisit the text by artist and activist Zoe Leonard, originally written in 1992, entitled "I want a president". The project intends to form a unified choir with multiple voices, always believing in the power of art to impact people.

Alongside the YBYTU residency program, and for each of its participants, a small book is published that records the artist's passage through YBYTU, and reveals a little of the artistic processes behind each of their practices.

So far, the collection has the following numbers:

​

1. Denise Alves-Rodrigues

2. Rafael RG

3. Juliana dos Santos

4. Aline Motta

5. Gabriel Francisco Lemos

6. Rafael Bqueer

7. Pedro Victor Brandão

X-Range  was conceived by Regina Vater and originally published in 1977 by Galería Artemúltiple, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This reissue of the project aims to put this work back into circulation, which marks the practices of the period and which also became a document. In a single object, it combines the experimental practices of Vater and the domestic environment of artists such as Hélio Oiticica, John Cage, Lygia Clark and Vito Acconci.

​

Regina Vater [Rio de Janeiro, 1943] lives and works in Rio de Janeiro. Represented by Jaqueline Martins gallery.

Mabe works with archives and institutions, creating fictions and enabling debates through publications, lectures and installations. In the book, she tells the story of T.S., a Swiss who had great exposure in the Brazilian art scene, but who was erased from official history. Mabe gathers a wealth of documentation about the painter, but applies a white stripe over his name.

The artist is obsessed with the accumulation and inventory of objects loaded with history and usually works with what he calls “surface transplantation”. In Augusta, he maps the gentrification of the famous São Paulo street.

Thiago Honório [Carmo do Paranaíba, MG, 1979] lives and works in São Paulo. Represented by the Luisa Strina gallery. Recent individuals: Solo, Luisa Strina [São Paulo, 2017]; Trabalho, MASP [São Paulo, 2016]; Títulos, Paço das artes [São Paulo, 2015].

Marilá Dardot works between the lines of literature and text. She works with the word and with time. In the Dictionary, the entries written by Rodrigo Moura, Ana Martins Marques, Gonçalo M Tavares and Fabio Morais correspond to themes that orbit the artist's production.

Marilá Dardot [Belo Horizonte, MG, 1973] lives and works in Lisbon. Represented by the galleries Filomena Soares, Vermelho. Recent individuals: Interdito, Galeria Filomena Soares [Lisbon, 2017], Guerra do Tempo, Chácara Lane [São Paulo, 2016]; Diário, Sesc Paladium [Belo Horizonte, 2015].

“Section” is the first monograph on the work of Marcius Galan and has as its starting point the idea of a fragment, extracted from the artist's own work. The book is organized by Rodrigo Moura, who produced an essay distributed throughout the book, in order to create different chapters and thematic blocks of images.

In addition to the main essay, an interview given to 'Kiki Mazzucchelli' seeks to account for decisive aspects of his work by revisiting works from the beginning of his career and pointing to themes such as functionality and the subversion of systems of representation, which permeate all of her work. A text by Manuel Cirauqui ‘Area de Marcius’ observes the artist's studio and his tools as a model for understanding his language.

Motta + Lima presents a journey through the work of the São Paulo artist duo Gisela Motta and Leandro Lima. Based on 30 selected works and six unpublished texts by curators Paulo Miyada and Galciani Neves, the publication proposes a critical exercise and dialogue on the transversal aspects of the artists' production over the years, exercising, in this crossing, the possibility of panoramic and themes and the search for singularities and successive recombinations.
