HELCIO BARROS
About Alpeh
Opening Friday, 26 June 2026
27 June – 1 August 2026

Helcio Barros is a visual artist and writer born in 1956 in Rio de Janeiro and currently living in São Paulo. His artistic trajectory began in the early 1980s, a moment marked by the democratization of Brazil as well as the international paradigm of painting as an expressive medium. In that field, the former civil servant engaged in drawing and studied film at the university.

His path for the arts was continuous, even when not perceived by the artistic scene, he began producing small drawings in between work and has participated in solo and group exhibitions. Four decades separates that moment from the year of 2026, when in the context of the 36th Bienal de São Paulo, his work was part of a tribute proposed by the collective Vilanismo, who paid homage to his mastery and dedication as an act of historical repair to an artist who inspires them. Around Aleph is the first show in Germany and the title refers to Jorge Luis Borges’s iconic 1945 Spanish short story „The Aleph“, this mysterious device that contains all other points in the universe at once, allowing the viewer to see everything on Earth from every angle simultaneously; a kind of version of the continuous and massive practice Barros produced so far.

Around the Aleph there is Sankofa. Around the fear that nothing would remain capable of generating surprise or joy, is the act of returning to get what you forgot, or was misplaced. Around the impression of a returning that would never leave or the impossibility to be free of all things seen, the bird of Sankofa continued to whisper “remember, remember”.

María Magdalena Campos-Pons‘ site-specific commission, „Still Holding the Scent of Flowers,“ keeps the historic White House Rose Garden forever in bloom at

The mixed-media installation – near the replica of the Oval Office, in the Museum exhibits – weaves roses, tulips, magnolias, pink and blue hyacinths, carrots, broccoli, herbs, and apple tree blossoms into a meditation on the American landscape, drawing on the history of the garden and Mrs. Obama’s focus on healthy eating. Campos-Pons‘ interpretation of the White House Rose Garden symbolizes memory, renewal, diversity, and hope.

„My work is always informed by geography... This means nature, land, and everything that comes with it, particularly the formation of self... geography and nature mark the body.“
– María Magdalena Campos-Pons

CARRIE MAE WEEMS
Opening June 19 in Chicago, Obama Foundation‘s new Obama Presidential Center expands its historic public art program with new commissions, including Carrie Mae Weems‘ „The Cool Blue Wind“. Accompanied by original music, Weems‘ photographic collage references President Obama’s historic 2008 victory and the freedom found in the organized, improvisational nature of jazz. The associated soundtrack centers on jazz, collective memory, and democratic participation.
