CONNEXIONS >< CONNECTIONS As part of the celebration of the Year France-Brazil, the exhibition CONNEXIONS >< CONEXÕES occupies SESC Pompeia with the intention of exploring the dialogue between the Brazilian and French contemporary graphic productions and its social application through display of posters, graphic elements and multimedia facilities. The ehxibition is curated jointly by Brazilian designer Rico Lins and french Christelle Kirschtetter, director until 2009 of the Pôle Graphique de Chaumont, France.

In addition to celebrating 20 years of activities of the International Poster Festival (which happens at Chaumont - France), the exhibition offers a panoram of the new French and Brazilian graphic design, which goes beyond the poster and printed matter, establishing dialogues with digital midias, public spaces, vernacular and contemporary art. Thus, the exhibition, which does not have a linear structure, has the conceptual axis of the central themes of the Year France-Brazil: territoriality, sustainability, diversity, plurality and identity.

Participants Artists and groups selected for the project have developed a solid work in the last three to five years, contributing with the market through a unique and authoral expression. They are: FRANCE: David Poullard, deValence, Fanette Mellier, Frédéric Teschner, Gregoire Romanet, Helmo, Lieux Communs, Mathias Schweizer, Pierre Perronet + Wijntjes van Rooijen, Trafik BRASIL: Arterial, BijaRi, Crimes Topográficos, Cubículo, Daniel Trench, Elaine Ramos, Grupo Piratininga, SuperUber, Noz.art, Ps2 .

Parallel to the exhibition at SESC Pompeia, the project also includes a show of the collection of posters from the Pôle Graphique de Chaumont. This show will take place at Instituto Tomie Ohtake and includes 24 posters of Collections Dutailly (XIX century: Lautrec, Cheret, etc.) and 45 of the Contemporary Collection (featuring a poster of each designer or group more relevant in recent years).
