Anita Schwartz Gallery presents, June 27, Everardo Miranda applies iron oxide by means of friction, onto the wall with a length of 19 linear feet, four feet in height. The edges are fuzzy, hazy, with the exception of a meter wide in the center of the front wall, where it will leave an empty space, “as an act of sculptural prunning, removing excess,” the artist explains. Painting the sidewalls with iron oxide is demarcated into two large rectangles. The excess pigment will be deposited on the ground, “waste” of this action. The experience brings Rothko and Mira Schendel’s to mind. The large scale is a differential approach, says, Paulo Sérgio Duarte, curator.
