The present exhibition of Franz Josef Weissmann (b. Brazil 1911-2005) aims to present the professional trajectory of the artist based on three distinct and complementary curatorial points: the place of the action, the creative gesture and the constructive method. Thus, the more traditional and chronological expositive methodology is substituted by a timeless action aimed at accentuating constant aspects of the work of this leading Brazilian sculptor. During his professional career, Weismann went through a long process of transformation better explained by analyzing his personal circumstances during the age of modernism in Brazil. "Weismann's work attests to and carries forward decisive impasses of art during the age of modernity. The only Brazilian sculptor to develop his production in close contact with the industry, he disseminated his poetic activity in the body of the "host" as a challenging symbiosis between art's aesthetical power and the industry's achievement capacity.
