Deyson Gilbert and Julio Meiron have been researching together a series of work called „Alcochoando“, which will be an inspiration taken to the Rio São Francisco. As a three dimensional painting, these works are a type of intervention with objects in specific spaces. Making a place soft with this yellow foam and other materials chosen by chance, as chairs, walls, some others from the landscape, compositions are formed as well as strange groups in contrast with the remaining ones in the landscape. Traveling to the São Francisco region, Julio and Deyson will be making a symbolic trip back home, to Minas Gerais and Pernambuco. The yellow foam is related to the comfort of home as well as biologic structures, outter and inner spaces, public and private. So Julio and Deyson will rap several elements of the boat and of the landscape as the boat keeps on going.
