For the Paris Autumn Festival (Festival d’Automne à Paris) Brazilian artist José Damasceno conceived an installation titled Projection, composed of rows of cinema seats and colored paper shaped like soles. In this video, José Damasceno talks about this presentation which was curated by Ligia Canongia. The work is installed at the Espace Topographie de l’art at 15 rue de Thorigny in Paris. It is open for the public Wednesday to Sunday 3 pm to 7 pm. The festival runs until December 21, 2008.
José Damasceno represented Brazil at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007 (together with Angela Detanico). He is currently participating in Prospect.1 New Orleans.
