Nottingham Contemporary is excited to present the first institutional solo exhibition dedicated to Weber's work in a major UK cultural institution. The exhibition co-curated by Pablo León de la Barra, Curator at Large, Latin America at the Salomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation, will include existing works, alongside ambitious new site-specific commissions.
Weber is a multi-disciplinary artist born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where he currently works and resides. Working across a range of mediums including assemblage, installation, sculpture and photography, Weber's practice acts as a vehicle to deconstruct the realities of daily life within the favelas of Rio de Janeiro.
His work incorporates material and visual elements he views as synonymous with life in the favelas. This includes tarps used at funk parties, common architectural features such as water reservoirs, popular hair styles, and firearms associated with organised crime.
Working in the traditions and legacy of Brazilian Constructivism, Weber appropriates these elements into compositions that transform their social meaning. Centring the culture of the favela within the core of his work, Weber invites the viewer to connect with a part of Rio de Janeiro's society often maligned and neglected.
