Hauser & Wirth New York<\/a>, 69th Street, on view September 6, 2018 through October 20, 2018. This will be first time the gallery will present a solo exhibition of Pape’s work in the US since announcing worldwide representation of Projeto Lygia Pape in 2016.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
A little background on Lygia Pape. Pape was a\u00a0founding member of Brazil\u2019s Neo-Concrete movement and explored sculptures, drawing, engraving and filmmaking. Her multi-disciplinary practice is not only profound, but playful as it relates to reframing the ideas of body, time and space.<\/p>\n

Get your cameras ready, since one of the first things you will encounter will be\u00a0\u2018Tte\u0301ia 1A\u2019 (1978 \/ 1979 \/ 1991), one of Pape’s most notable works. These shimmering, delicate threads are a part of the artist’s\u00a0Tte\u0301ia series, first conceived in 1978. The viewer will have the opportunity to inspect the groups of thread weaving through the air and explore the spatial relationships between each thread.\u00a0The word \u2018Tte\u0301ia,\u2019 which Pape created, is an elision of the Portuguese word for \u2018web\u2019 and \u2018teteia,\u2019 a colloquial word for a graceful and delicate person or thing.<\/p>\n

The second floor of the exhibition features three important works \u2013 \u2018Roda dos Prazeres (Wheel of Pleasures)\u2019 (1967), \u2018Jogo de Te\u0301nis (Tennis Game)\u2019 (2002), and a series of collaborative collages produced with Concrete artist Ivan Serpa during the 1970s.\u00a0The exhibition concludes on the third floor with Pape\u2019s early geometrical Tecelares (Weavings), woodcut prints from the 1950s. Pape\u2019s Tecelares have a direct relationship to her later Tte\u0301ia series; these complicated compositions on paper have a charged sense of materiality. Pape\u2019s acute awareness to technique and material in these works allowed for what she believed was a \u2018better presentation of the idea and the inventive richness.\u2019<\/p>\n
