An exhibition by six sculptors whose works invite the viewers co explore their own bodies sensual responses. As the viewers experiences the sensory stimulus provided by the sculptors they muse move their bodies through space, change their perspective, examine
some objects intimately, and view others from a distance. The sculptures ace as catalyses for the acquisition of corporeal knowledge . The six sculptors come from Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, but the show is not a report on the scare of sculpture in Brazil. It is a specific thesis on pleasure, beauty and the body.
