Descripción de la Exposición

Kunsthal 44Møen introduces Mosquito Revenge, the first solo presentation in Denmark by Brazillian artist Vivian Caccuri. Mosquito Revenge is a multimedia exhibition that retells the story of European colonization of “the new world” with mosquitoes as the main characters. In this story the insect is seen as a paramilitary force, referring to the power of tropical nature, that is disturbed by new artificial structures, poorly planned dams, sugar plantations and slavery. As a result of this overall catastrophe mosquitoes become ubiquitous and deadly. Mosquito Revenge grows out of Vivian Caccuri’s long interest in medical histories, and her study of eighteenth-century records of diseases in the Western Hemisphere. Whilst giving continuity to her practice focusing on sensory perceptions, especially sound as a physical phenomenon and its social, historical and political context. Vivian Caccuri (b. 1986, São Paulo) lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Graduated in Fine Arts in 2007, the artist has participated in several group exhibitions in Brazil and abroad, among which stand out: in 2013, the 33rd Panorama of Brazilian Art at the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo (MAM-SP); in 2016, at the 32nd São Paulo Biennial – Living Uncertainty; in 2017, Future Generation Art Prize 2017, Victor Pinchuk Foundation, Kiev, Ukraine; in 2018, she participated in the 11th Mercosul Biennale and in the People’s Biennale – Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2018, Kochi & Kerala, India; in 2019, Somos muit+s, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo; The Shape of a Circle in the Mind of a Fish with Plants (General Ecologies Project), in which she presented commissioned work at Serpentine Galleries, London; La Biennale di Venezia – May you Live in Interesting Times, Venice, Italy; TabomBass, FAENA Art, Miami, USA, and As If: Alternative Stories from Then to Now, at The Drawing Center, New York, USA.
