Mana Bernardes At Museu of Art and Design
Môbiluz, illuminated Mobile, made in partnership Zeca Cury and Airton Pimenta, will be displayed at Museum of Arts and Design (MAD – NY) in a group exhibition dedicated to contemporary Latin American design called New Territories: Laboratories for Design, Craft and Art in Latin America.
Mana Bernardes is a designer, poet, multi-media artist, and art therapist who is best known for her jewelry made of discarded plastics and other materials. A desire to recreate her work on Jóias Cotidianas (Everyday Jewels) on a larger scale led to a collaboration with Aírton Pimenta (illuminator and owner of Lightworks) and Zeca Cury (woodworker and owner Oficina de Marcenaria). During meetings (and dives) in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Ubatuba, the collective created Môbiluz, a limited edition of mobiles that are ethereal, subtle, translucent, and lightweight. Each object is made of laminated wood, LED lighting, and industrial scraps of iridescent sequins. The Môbiluz fixtures are a contemplative objects that can be adjusted manually to create different shadows and moods.

Mana Bernardes’s Occupation at Casa Ipanema
in 2010 i went for a walk in Ipanema searching people to talk to me about color, sensation, texture, perfume, shape and flavor from this neighborhood. After two months of work, going after imagens with the amazing photographer Mauro Kury trying to translate the people’s impressions like this poet and hawker who told me that the Ipanema flavour was the sun and the sensation was “the woman at the beach”…I developed the Neighborhood Sensorial Map that became an inspirational guide inside the Ipanema Brand and now will be exhibited printed in gigantic paper in some sort of labyrinth. Leftover from the brand will be in a workshop to create objects and we will have the oficial release of the Do Mundo sandal, mine partnership with ipanema brand. This begins june 10th and with a inaugural performance with Alice Caymmi at 8pm. Put in your agendas the address: Casa Ipanema: Garcia D´Avila Street 77.
