Centre d'Art Contemporain, Geneva

Exhibition by Antonio Obá - Rituals of Care

The Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève is delighted to present Rituals of Care, the first solo exhibition by Brazilian artist Antonio Obá in Europe.

Antonio Obá (b. 1983, Ceilândia, Brazil) lives and works in Brasilia, Brazil. Obá examines the influence and contradictions of Brazil's cultural construction, both as an act of resistance and as a reflection on the idea of national identity. Obá uses icons present in Brazilian culture as allusions to racial and political identity. These historical and sometimes religious icons are explored in his sculptures, paintings, installations and performances. Obá's body is at the heart of his research, questioning the eroticization of the black male body and the construction of his own identity.

He has presented solo exhibitions at Pina Contemporânea, São Paulo, Brazil (2023); Oude Kerk, Amsterdam, Netherlands (2022); and X Museum, Beijing, China (2022). His work has been included in group shows at the 12th Liverpool Biennial, Liverpool, UK (2023); Museum de Fundatie, Zwolle, Netherlands (2023); MASP, São Paulo, Brazil (2022); Zeitz MOCAA, Cape Town, South Africa (2022); IMS Paulista, São Paulo, Brazil (2021); Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil (2021); Bourse de Commerce - Collection Pinault, Paris, France (2021); MO. CO, Montpellier, France (2020); Museu de Arte Moderna, São Paulo, Brazil (2019); Museu de Arte do Rio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2018); Museu de Arte Moderna, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2017); Casa da América Latina, Brasília, Brazil (2016); and Museu Nacional da República, Brasília, Brazil (2015).

This exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous support of Mendes Wood DM and Flux Laboratory.
