Art.br#2

Chelpa Ferro

The art.br project disseminates Brazilian contemporary art in New York in an annual event held by ICCo, with the proposal to present performances in dialogue with other artistic languages, under an experimental bias. This action is carried out in partnership with New York institutions aiming to strengthen the international content production.
In the second edition of the project, there was the participation of the Chelpa Ferro group, made up by artists Luiz Zerbini, Barrão and Sergio Mekler, that presented “Maué Metal”, a performance in dialogue with music. The artists used musical instruments in unconventional ways and incorporated home appliances and day-to-day objects into their performance, exploring the limits between noise and music.
