Panel on direct elections in artistic exhibition
The 12th Contemporary Salon of Art of Santo André, to open on April 8, will have two panels at the entrance of the exhibition, where visitors will be able to express their opinion about the need for direct elections now, for the presidency of the republic. The author of the proposal, the artist Walter Miranda, from São Paulo, received special reference from the jury, made up of critics Ivo Zanini and Enock Sacramento, and by sculptor and designer Leon Ferrari.
Sponsored by the local city hall, the Hall will bring together 236 of the 615 works sent, some from another state. The jury approved the work of 110 competitors, eliminating another 120 and considered the level of the participants to be reasonable. The acquisition prizes - worth CR $ 2.8 million - were awarded to Hans Grudzinski, Valdir Sarubbi, Martins de Porangaba, João Susuki, Victor reif, Percifal Tirapeli, Walter Miranda (with oils), Maria Beralda Altenfelder Santos, Neide Lazuri, Carlos Zambom, Dina Oliveira, Oswaldo Hernandez, Aderbal Moura, Mário Fiore, Alan Kardec Teixeira (from Goiás), Vera Berthe, Donato Vergel and Rogério C. Oliveira.
