Cross Pollination
by Uncool Artist
March 30 - APRIL 23
Marco Polo describes a bridge, stone by stone.
“But which is the stone that supports the bridge?” Kublai Khan asks.
“The bridge is not supported by one stone or another,”
Marco answers, “but by the line of the arch that they form.”
Kublai Khan remains silent, reflecting. Then he adds:
“Why do you speak to me of the stones? It is only the arch that matters to me.”
Polo answers: “Without the stones there is no arch.”
Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities
The sense of community is what strikes me at Uncool Artist. The space created by Carolina Paz brings artists together and generates a field where cross-pollination seems not only natural but necessary. It is a joy to witness the arts thriving.

Débora Rayel Eva
Débora Rayel Eva (Brazil, 1970) built her professional experience in graphic and product design, and started her projects within the visual arts field in early 2011. Since then, she has participated in contemporary art courses, art residencies, and study groups. In 2013 she started her works in drawing, collage, photography, painting, and ready-made objects. Her early works started with photos that she took from her own body to transform and build new ones via editing into new images. With time, those images gave way to creating new “bodies”, ready-made objects, and small sculptures made out of ordinary, natural, or disposable materials. Nowadays, she has been working in her studio while participating in exhibitions with other artists. Her recent collective exhibitions include Romper a Superfície é Abrir um Rio para Dentro, Grupo Hermes, São Paulo, 2022; Do write (right) to me, ChaShaMa, New York, 2021; Do write (right) to me, Miami Design District, Miami, 2021; Últimos Dias, Espaço Fonte, São Paulo, 2020.
