Ateliês do Rio
Editorial
Ateliês do Rio invites readers into ten spaces to observe each artist’s creative process and how each one organizes routine, repetition, memory, imaginative thought, experimentation, inspiration, abysses, and practical needs. In photographs by Vicente de Mello and interviews by João Vergara, the studios of Adriana Varejão, Anna Bella Geiger, Barrão, Beatriz Milhazes, Carlos Vergara, Denilson Baniwa, Marcela Cantuária, Maria Nepomuceno, Maxwell Alexandre, and Waltercio Caldas appear as singular extensions of their practices. We developed the publication’s editorial design from this very understanding: a book that absorbs the symbiosis between artist and space, where tools, chaos, works in progress, walls, tables, and silences reveal that a studio is, above all, a living archive and a way of being in the world. For that very reason, it is always expected to remain in motion—between order and disorder, comings and goings.
With electric bicycles and self-propelled vehicles, baiq turns getting around into a more fluid, intelligent, conscious, and free experience. We developed the naming, branding, visual identity, brand applications across the products, and initial communication support, all of which carry this idea of movement forward.
Bauh is an original furniture studio that creates pieces from reclaimed wood. Produced in limited editions, its furniture is defined by close attention to materials and detail. We developed its visual identity, creating a sober, contemporary graphic system that supports the brand’s communication without competing with the material’s singular character.
Maracanã Media produces original and documentary narratives about high-performance athletes. With a strong visual impact and a Brazilian perspective on sport, it reveals the stories, tensions, and desires that exist beyond the result.
Cuba: Ficción y Fantasía spans more than three decades of the country’s artistic production. Across different generations and languages, the exhibition reveals how imagination, spirituality, humor, and criticism become ways of reinventing Cuban reality.
