Lia Chaia
Lia Chaia (São Paulo, 1978) lives and works in São Paulo.
She graduated from the Armando Álvares Penteado Foundation in Plastic Arts, in 2003.
In her work, she studies the daily life, culture vs. nature, tension vs. lightens, urban vs. rural. Her research also focuses on the body and its reactions to the ruptures and stimulus of the day-to-day. As a result, she uses all sorts of media in her pieces: performance, installation, video, photography.
Amongst her last solo exhibitions we can highlight “Lia Chaia: Estacionamento”, Senac Lapa Scipião, São Paulo, BR (2018); “É como dançar sobre a arquitectura”, Instituto Tomie Ohtake, São Paulo, BR (2017); “Mostravídeo”, Instituto Itaú Cultural, Belo-Horizonte, BR (2007); “Lia Chaia”, Centre de Creation, Bazouges-la-Pérouse, FR (2005).
She has been exhibiting non-stop since 1999 in several group exhibitions: “Ação e Reação”, Casa do Brasil: Colégio Mayor Universitário, Madrid, ES (2018), “Past/Future/Present: Contemporary Brazilian Art from the Museum of Modern Art - São Paulo”, Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix, USA (2017); “FLAM VI”, Forum for Live Art, Amsterdam, NL (2016); “Paisagem Opaca”, MAM SP, São Paulo, BR (2015); “Cleaning Up”, Johanes Vogt Gallery, New York, USA (2013); “Ordem e Progresso- Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo”, MAM-SP, São Paulo, BR (2011); “Creative Art Session 2008: Japan-Brazil Firendship Exhibition”, Kawasaki City Museum, Kawasaki, JP (2008); “5° Bienal Internacional de Liége”, Centro Cultural Lês Chiroux, Liège, FR (2006); “Marking Time”, LACE, Los Angeles, USA (2005); “31ª Anual De Arte”, FAAP, São Paulo, BR (1999).
