Leston
Identity, Website
Leston is a musician, artist, and developer based in São Paulo. His work investigates the relationships between sound, image, code, and permanence, exploring the sensitive interval that emerges between systems and perception and creating experiences in which the living is not only what happens in real time, but what transforms before us. In his practice, programming ceases to be merely a tool and becomes a vocabulary—a way of building open structures and constantly changing forms. We began with the idea that every language is also a limit and, in dialogue with his research, developed a visual identity and website that bring the system to the foreground. We started from a simple inversion: bringing the system, which usually operates behind the scenes, to the front. There is an interval in the gap between error, the blue screen, and code. It is within this unstable space, between control and failure, that the project comes to life. The website was developed by SupLab.
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.
With more than one hundred works from the MNBA collection, Pretagonismos places Black artists at the center of Brazilian art history. Design and architecture work as a single reading structure: artworks, names, and stories gain presence so that another panorama of Brazilian art can emerge—broader, more critical, and, above all, necessary.
Ateliês do Rio enters the creative spaces of ten artists from different practices and generations. Photographs by Vicente de Mello and interviews by João Vergara reveal the studio as a living archive, a laboratory, and an extension of each work.
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.
