Prelude: The Insides are on the Outside O interior esta no exterior - Sao Paulo; Instituto Lina Bo e P.M Bardi; 2012 - 40p; 33x24cm

Curator: Hans Ulrich Obrist. Setting a major art exhibition inside modernist architect Lina Bo Bardi’s former residence Casa de Vidro, or Glass House, always risked the house’s lush surroundings overwhelming the art – not least due to the form of its wild gardens, a sensual jolt of jungle. Curator Hans Ulrich Obrist’s trick, with this group exhibition, is to enlist the house, gardens and contents, and inviting more than 30 Brazilian and international artists to work on a series of site-specific pieces. This exhibition, part of which also takes place at the magnificent SESC Pompéia culture and leisure centre Bo Bardi created between 1977 and 1982, is the latest in a series of ‘house- museum’ projects curated and conceived by Obrist, the most recent of which took place at the home of the poet Federico García Lorca, in Granada, in 2007–8.
