press release:
MUSEUM OF ART OF RIO
The Museum of Art of Rio (MAR) is a space dedicated to art and visual culture. Launched on March 1st, 2013, the Museum holds temporary exhibitions which allow the study of the city’s history from different perspectives which cut across its social fabric, its symbolic life, challenges and social expectations. Located at Mauá Square, the Museum is at the epicenter of the urban and cultural transformations of the Maravilha Port, a broad project promoted by City Hall to revitalize Rio’s port area.
The MAR is housed in two buildings: the older one, a listed heritage building in eclectic style, holds the exhibition pavilion; and the neighboring construction, in modernist style, where the School of the Gaze is located. The project, conceived by Rio’s architectural firm Bernardes + Jacobsen, joins both structures with a fluid concrete roof, which calls to mind a wave, and a covered ramp, located behind the museum, through which visitors have access to the exhibit areas.
With approximately 15 thousand square meters, the MAR holds eight exhibit halls – measuring around 300 square meters each –, an educational area, auditorium, library, panoramic restaurant, café, shop, administrative offices and technical support areas. As well as its own collection, the MAR also shows works from some of the best public and private collections of Brazil to fulfill its purpose and program.
Set in the port area, where Rio was born and from which it grew, the Museum will also have the role, through education, of being the link between a divided city – which, though ongoing urban, social and economic changes, tries to renew itself. The MAR intends to be a place of meetings, interaction and exchange.
A museum next to a school, or a school next to a museum, which has an annual goal of collaborating with two thousand teachers and receiving 200 thousand visitors – including 100 thousand students from the city’s public schools.
THE SCHOOL OF THE GAZE (A ESCOLA DO OLHAR)
The School of the Gaze is an environment designed to investigate visual culture and education amidst the dynamics of contemporary life. Through the School, the MAR aims to develop a reference in educational programs in Brazil and abroad, using as a foundation the curatorial conception which directs its exhibition calendar. This program is intent on implementing, developing and organizing educational efforts using as a premise art in relation to the city, to local communities and to the institution’s diverse public.
The MAR’s educational program, developed in partnership with the Municipal Secretariat of Education of Rio de Janeiro, will act upon ongoing qualification of the city’s teachers and receiving students from public schools, who will be guided by specially trained mediators. The goal is to annually collaborate with two thousand teachers and receive 200 thousand visitors – including 100 thousand students from the city’s public schools – and to transform Rio’s relationship with art into civic edification processes.
The School of the Gaze will develop programs for young artists; a curator qualification program; partnerships and collaborations with Rio de Janeiro’s universities aiming at nurturing and supporting research, seminaries and publications; curatorial and educational efforts in the museum’s surroundings; and a reception and discussion program for the general public.
The MAR is a joint initiative of Rio de Janeiro City Hall and Fundação Roberto Marinho. The Museum is sponsored by the private companies Vale and Organizações Globo, with the support of the Government of Rio de Janeiro State, Porto Maravilha Cultural Program and the Ministry of Culture, through the Federal Law for Cultural Incentive.
