SITU 6: Friends of Perpetual Movement by Pilar Quinteros

São Paulo’s Galeria Leme, a key player in Brazil’s innovative art scene, has gained a colourful new appendage. As part of the gallery’s ‘SITU’ project – where Latin American artists develop site-specific works on the theme of urban space – artist Pilar Quinteros has constructed a tongue-in-cheek clock tower on the gallery’s roof.

Don’t be tricked by the playful, primary colours of Quinteros’ new installation – this is serious stuff. As curator Bruno de Almeida explains, by laying the ‘subverted’ clocktower sideways, Quinteros is making a philosophical comment on ‘the conquered supremacy of time over space and its consequences on our built environment’.
