Due to the pandemic of the new coronavirus, which asks us to continue in social isolation, many artists, in addition to health hazards, face a crisis from a creative and financial point of view. Many produce works thinking of the public space as support. Others, who were preparing exhibitions for 2020, are looking for a virtual space to show their work.
Due to all the crossings that isolation causes to artists, the PIPA Institute decided to create ‘PIPA em casa’ (PIPA at home), which in addition to allocating 10 emergency support donations of R$ 5,000 (five thousand Reais) to 10 artists, is also a virtual exhibition that brings together recent works by Brazilian artists. All 480 artists who have participated in at least one edition of the PIPA Award since 2010 were invited to ‘PIPA em casa’. The result of the incentive was very positive, 127 artists presented high-quality works, considering the challenging context of artistic production. Some artists sent works for ‘PIPA em casa’ without claiming emergency support.
‘PIPA em casa’ is a virtual show with works produced mostly during social isolation, but works previously done were also accepted. Among them, photographs, videos, sculptures, and performances are shown in the exhibition.
Today, we announce the ten artists selected by the PIPA Board who will each receive R$ 5,000. A virtual exhibition with all the works sent by the artists can be seen on the website.
