2 × 31 cm Bart Lodewijks: I spent two winters and one summer in Rio de Janeiro in search of suitable places for my chalk drawings. I entrusted myself to local residents who led me to places which were scenes of everyday life. Places that don t really catch the eye and which only disclose their special character to those who return regularly. I made my drawings on the streets, in a bar, in a church square and in a villa, but most of the time I frequented a small favela bordering on the end of the no-through Rua Benjamin Constant, the street I was staying in. I have written a story about life in this neighbourhood and the drawings I made there. Text in English and Portuguese. Made possible with the support of: Capacete, Rio de Janeiro; Mondriaan Fund; Central de Cultura Brasil & Holanda; Projeto Legal, Rio de Janeiro. Design: Roger Willems.
