"Zimar vs. Thiago Martins de Melo: A Thousand Heads Under The Apotheosis of The Last Sky " was Lima Galeria’s project for SP–Arte Rotas Brasileiras 2023, proposing a dialogue between two artists from Maranhão with different backgrounds and practices, but with the same inventive energy. Curated by Germano Dushá, the project establishes an intense dialogue between two artists who use universal elements of Brazilian culture as the basis for singular creations of strong expressiveness. His works reformulate well-known symbols and objects into striking compositions, combining radical materiality and free fantasy, amazement and humor, history and biography. In a cohesive installation, Zimar's masks are added to Thiago Martins de Melo's sculptural paintings, composing a dense and atmospheric environment, permeated by the manifestation of multiple expressive characters, as a kind of ritualistic space or force field for the intense circulation of uncountable narratives.

The group show reflects on how universal mysteries are updated under contemporary urges. Departing from the enigmatic hybridism of the sphinx—half human, half beast—as a synthesis of vital, yet deeply treacherous and ambiguous, paradoxes, the projects gathers a comprehensive selection of works across different mediums and by artists from diverse places and backgrounds. With a site-specific approach to the gallery space, the exhibition embraces the inexorable problems of current ecological conditions to discuss paradigmatic shifts and constant transfigurations towards radical indescribability.The exhibition was also composed of an intense program of performances and unfolded into a publication containing texts, artists, artworks, and visual references that informed the research of the project.

Contra-Flecha is an exhibition program interested in new perspectives on the history and production of Brazilian art. Its aim is to create shows that bridge the works from the collection/network of the Almeida & Dale gallery—primarily modern pieces from the 20th century—and guest artists directly invited or selected through an open call. The selection criteria include the dialogue between artistic proposals and the curatorial focus of each edition, as well as the opportunity to provide visibility to artists at the beginning of their careers or without a presence in the art market. The program inaugurates the gallery's annual exhibition and publication calendar, serving as a catalyst for essential debates and fostering new connections among art professionals. Therefore, each year, the program will promote a new edition with its own conceptual/curatorial proposition and, consequently, a new title.

The exhibition was held at Pace Gallery in East Hampton, New York, and brought together an intergenerational group of artists from both within and outside the gallery's program, ranging from modernist canon to contemporary names. It explored the concept of "universal heat" as a means of sublimation, a vehicle for transforming material and spiritual states. The artworks engaged with themes of transcendence and transmutation, evoking the complex and mysterious dynamics of nature. The exhibition design comprises a series of original devices resembling different blocks of a supercontinent. These organic forms serve as guides, leading visitors through a unique and immersive exhibition experience. The exhibition creates a space where visitors can engage with the artworks, exploring the interconnectedness of the themes and experiencing a sense of discovery and wonder.

The group exhibition was part of the various activities commemorating the centenary of the Week of Modern Art in 1922. Its objective was to intersect with its histories and critically reconsider the nature and effects of the inaugural moment of Modernism in Brazil. Specifically conceived in relation to the physical qualities of Casa Zalszupin, it brought together a collection of works produced under the modernist vein and another set of works created in recent years. Artworks juxtaposed and contrasts gestures that seek to synthesize landscapes, bodies, and their disposition in the continuum of life, revealing sequential movements as well as unavoidable conflicts and contrasts that mark realities separated by a century.

The exhibition gathered works by artist Carlos Issa over the last decade. It took place at Sé Gallery and featured drawings of various natures produced in recent years, as well as pieces specifically conceived for the occasion. The exhibited works were created by extending drawing into the three-dimensional realm, blurring the boundaries between sculpture, object, and furniture. These pieces, along with the wall artworks, redefined the architectural space of the exhibition, inviting the audience to engage and interact with them. Visitors were encouraged to perform and participate by using the artworks as part of their experience within the exhibition space.
