Sicardi Gallery is proud to present an exhibition by Regina Silveira. The opening reception with the artist will be on Thursday, November 3rd from 6 – 8pm and run through December 23, 2005.
Regina Silveira was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil. In 1981, with a series of photographic works called Enigmas, Silveira started an intense exploration of shadows that soon developed into graphic and installation works. Most recently, at the spectacular Palacio de Cristal (Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía) in Madrid, Silveira presented “Lumen,” a set of installations that included Quimera, a gigantic installation of the image of a light bulb casting its own shadow.
Ms. Silveira obtained a master's degree from the Universidade de São Paulo’s School of Communications and Arts in 1980. Four years later she also earned a doctorate degree in that same institution. She has received several important awards. In 1990 she was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation fellowship and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant in 1993.
In 2003 Ms. Silveira received an award from the São Paulo Art Critics Association for the exhibition ClaraLuz at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil. In 2004 she was a guest artist at the Centro Cultural São Paulo where she showed the work Derrapagem as part of Projeto Parede at Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo. She also had two solo shows, one at Centro Cultural España, in Montevideo, Uruguay, and another at the Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros, in Mexico. In 2004 she participated in the Trienal Poli/Gráfica de San Juan, Puerto Rico, and in 2005 she showed at the Galería Alcuadrado, in Bogota, Colombia, and took part in the group exhibition The Shadow, at the Vestsjaellands Kunstmuseum in Denmark.
In addition to her solo exhibit at Sicardi Gallery she is currently in a group show curated by Gilbert Vicario, Assistant Curator of Latin American Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston titled “Indelible Images.”
