O Estendal in The Rio Times

O Estendal had a write up in The Rio Times. It's even in English, yeah!

Salve-se Quem Puder Clippings

We had lots of good press about our expos! Guess this means things are going well!! Here are some of the more interesting ones:

We made the front page of the Segundo Caderno of O Globo...

The Programa B of JB...

Gente Boa...

Even Patricia Kogut!!

Salve-se Quem Puder!

The second action of the group O Estendal hit the streets last weekend at Praça São Salvador and it was a great success. We had lots of illustrious guests including

Milton Guran - photographer, anthropologist and curator - and his wife

The lovely Lia Renha, art director fabulastic from Nosso Lar.

Phillippe Machado - the official Lomo Guy of Rio de Janeiro... he brought a prototype of a new panoramic lomo - 35 mm film, occupies two frames and gives 106 degrees of Lomo Love! Gonna send the film to get developed today!!

The celebrated actor Daniel Oliveira a.ka. Agnello, Cazuza, Hiroito, O Professor etc etc etc, and Denis Feijão, executive producer of Boca do Lixo (which premieres Saturday at the Festival do Rio and stars Daniel!!!) and Raul Seixas - O Início, o Fim e o Meio.

William Fenton-Hathaway, our curator from Los Angeles, who was present via Skype! Welcome to the 21st century!!!

Lots of normal people out and about on the weekend, including (from the top left and in clockwise order) - a homeless guy, a fireman, an old guy going grocery shopping, the Baiana selling Acarajé, the Nestle popsicle guy, and of course granny (lots of them!)

Oh yeah, and lots of really cute kids like Julia here.

Blindado

Blindado rocked the house in Lapa last night, but I didn't go because I was too tired :-( ...however, I did make a nice photo of them!

Who doesn't love chrome?

My Dad is a big lover of old cars and of course they come loaded with chrome. I think I inherited this love of chrome from him... but who doesn't love chrome, anyways?

So, here's a picture of chrome, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Actually, it's a fruit platter, and if you like it you can buy it for R$258 at Revira Idéias!

Domingo no Parque at Parque Shanghai

Today we are invading Parque Shanghai with our photographic clothesline, curated by William Fenton-Hathaway. This time with the photos of Domingo no Parque, images taken within the amusement park and that we're on exhibit at the Galeria Studio a few months ago.

Here's a post about the show from the blog Teleobjetiva.

Expo 400 Contra 1 | Curitiba, Brazil

A bunch of my photos of the film 400 Contra 1 are on exhibit at the Shopping Barigui in the city of Curitiba, southern Brazil.

We took our photographic clothesline and hung it up at the Espaço Figura. Here's a video that we made documenting what went down:

Revira idéias

We photographed all of the products for this new site Revira Idéias - an ecologically conscious virtual store where everything is recycled, reused, and reduced. Check it out!

Por Um Fio

We made a video of the exposition with a performance/intro by the actor Daniel de Oliveira and an interview with the anthropologist/photographer guru Milton Guran. You can check it out on YouTube here. Don't forget to turn on the HD!

We also have a blog where you can keep up to date with the goings-on of the collective: http://oestendal.wordpress.com

Here's a blog from Fotocolagem that published a blurb about us and used my photo to illustrate the expo:
