The Americas Society presents “Bispo do Rosário: All Existing Materials on Earth,” the first solo exhibition in the United States of Bispo do Rosário, an Afro-Brazilian artist who created over a thousand objects during his confinement at the Colônia Juliano Moreira, a psychiatric institution in Rio de Janeiro where he spent most of his life.
The exhibition brings together iconic works by Bispo, including hand-embroidered fabrics with various elements attached, mixed media sculptures, and his signature piece “Vestimenta da Anunciação,” his most well-known work.
The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Museu Bispo do Rosário Arte Contemporânea in Rio de Janeiro and co-curated by Aimé Iglesias Lukin, Ricardo Resende, and Javier Téllez, with Tie Jojima.
