Not Vital: Tirando Onda Solo exhibition at Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói

The Swiss artist's first exhibition at the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói, draws on his nomadic gaze and his affectionate relationship with architecture: Vital arranges previously unseen sculptures in the Museum Square and covers the floor of the Main Hall with 2,222 “snowballs,” creating an encounter between snow and sea, silence and surprise, in reverence to Oscar Niemeyer’s design.

In the Mezzanine, large-format paintings and quartzite-black sculptures extend this exploration of landscape, body, scale, and belonging—works that not only inhabit the MAC but truly coexist with it.
