2 Is there room for imagination nowadays? Could we invent (or rescue) more ludic, poetic, silent or even amateur approaches to share sensitive dissonances with people at large? What would political reinvention mean from the perspective(s) of art? Living in a land where inequality reigns in all aspects of life, wish (perhaps utopic) is to commune such imagination with a broader public not so focused to contemporary art trends, being in mind the rich, diverse and emancipated spectators we all are, regardless of education background, social class or cultural identity. Life is broader. So is art. Alice Shintani Sao Paulo, Brazil (under coup d etat), 2018.

6 there were about fifty homeless people living in the square, but we did not want to go on sort of assistentialist art, neither falling into escapist aesthetics to deny the reality of that place. We wanted to get out of that dichotomy and try other relationships, even though we know that the ethic and aesthetic limits of art are always very tenuous. tuiuiú, 2017 / intervention on public space in collaboration with sem título s.d. curatorial collective, são paulo, brazil.

36 alice shintani são paulo, brazil, lives and works in são paulo. alice works from an expanded idea of painting as starting point to imagine forms of approaching to the emancipated other and to reflect on the possibilities of aesthetic experience today: where, whom and how we can share it in order to dislocate something. Defending the idea that such experience exists beyond the established art system, shintani transits between different contexts from art gallery to the warehouse of neighbourhood market, from the home kitchen to the sidewalk of a public square interested in diminishing the distances and meanings between poetic and political gestures. alice is granddaughter of japanese immigrants and graduated in computer engineering at university of campinas in Her practice has been shown in museums, institutes and galleries in brazil and abroad as well as shared in streets, public spaces and social networks. residencies, lectures and workshops 2017 autumn season residency, delfina foundation, london; guest artist lecture and studio visits for valand academy, gotenburg; art matters: contemporary art practices in post-migrant societies workshops, bosh foundation, berlin. solo exhibitions 2017 tuiuiú, mario de andrade library + dom jose gaspar square + aber, sao paulo; menas, galeria marcelo guarnieri, sao paulo o cru e o cozido, galeria marcelo guarnieri, ribeirão preto hanafuda, galeria mercedes viegas, rio de janeiro bakemono, casa triângulo, sao paulo sinopse, galeria mercedes viegas, rio de janeiro ether, galeria virgilio, sao paulo alice shintani, galeria marcelo guarnieri, ribeirão preto quimera, galeria virgilio, sao paulo; aproximações, temporada de projetos, paço das artes, sao paulo; estações, centro cultural sao paulo. selected group exhibitions 2017 delfina presents: autumn residents, delfina foundation, london; shadowns and monsters, gasworks/studio 7, london; osso - exposição apelo ao amplo direito de defesa de rafael braga, instituto tomie ohtake, são paulo olhar incomum, museu oscar niemeyer, curitiba survival adaptations, aggregate space gallery, oakland; 2013 utropic, centre of contemporary art, poznan, poland; new acquisitions, palacio do itamaraty, federal government, brasília técnicas de desaparecimento, havana/guantanamo, cuba rumos artes visuais trilhas do desejo, instituto itaú cultural, são paulo / ecco, brasília / paço imperial, rio de janeiro nova arte nova, centro cultural banco do brasil rio de janeiro and são paulo o arte pará, belem salão bunkyo, sao paulo
