Ciclotrama Janaina Mello Landini

About this activity.

Until June 23, the Akerk in Groningen is the stage for the enchanting art of the Brazilian artist Janaina Mello Landini. The Ciclotrama exhibition marks her solo debut in the Netherlands and offers visitors the opportunity to admire her unique works, including the life-size artwork Floating, created especially for this occasion. In addition, various works from the Cyclotrama collection are exhibited. 

Janaina Mello Landini
Janaina Mello Landini (Brazil, 1974) lives and works in São Paulo. In 1999 she graduated in Architecture, after which she studied Fine Arts, both at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil. Janaina Mello Landini's works of art are recognizable by the material she uses: rope, yarn and textile. Sometimes they are small, stand-alone objects that hang on the wall. But she also creates meters-high, visually stunning installations in public spaces. Landini is fascinated by structures and networks. According to her, these occur in many different places: in nature, mathematics, architecture, but also in society. Sometimes they are clearly visible, sometimes only palpable. She develops this idea in the series of works she calls Ciclotrama, which is also the title of this exhibition.

Landini in the Akerk
Visit the exhibition in the Akerk and immerse yourself in the complex and visually stunning world of Ciclotrama. The series consists of several series, each highlighting a different aspect of a Cyclotrama. Landini's thoughts about and elaborations on rhythm, frequency and time fit well with the Akerk, because the place is full of centuries of history. The path of the Akerk crossed that of many lives, social developments, natural phenomena, etc. In the Cyclotrama, all these paths can be seen individually, but you also immediately see the whole. Her work can also encourage reflection on the Akerk itself.
