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.
Encantado, Silva’s seventh album, gains a tactile dimension through a publication that brings together images and traces of the creative process. Enchantment emerges precisely in this gap, where sound and image come together to create a sensory experience.
Planetary Embassy imagines a form of diplomacy between humans, nature, and other living forces. In Belém, New York, Tokyo, and other territories, art, science, technology, and Indigenous knowledge came together in a space for listening, guided by patterns generated from natural sounds.
Behind a historic façade, Casa Camolese brings together a restaurant, craft brewery, cocktail bar, delicatessen, and music. Its identity connects the Italian graphic tradition with the atmosphere of a house in Rio.
Created by cinematographer Nicholas Bluff, Bluff Bounce develops reflectors for more natural lighting. We developed a precise, restrained graphic system inspired by the sensibility of someone who understands that lighting is also about choosing how to look.
