Neyde Joppert
Women in Buenos Aires

09.09.24 20.09.24

Neyde Joppert is a Brazilian architect by training and a self-taught visual artist. She teaches urban planning and also engages in artistic and poetic research related to wandering through the city and observing how people use public spaces.

During her residency in ´ace, with a project on women in Buenos Aires, Neyde walked the streets of the city, took public transport, participated in visits to local artists’ workshops and thus met eight women who agreed to be portrayed by her for her project. After photographing them, she made graphite drawings, enlarged, trying to record the most characteristic features of each woman’s personality. She then painted in oil on acrylic, a transparent material, which will allow for different views of the paintings when they are joined together as an installation in the same space. On the city map, she drew the polygon formed by connecting the places where she met these women, which will later serve as a structure for a future installation of the paintings as a whole. The palette she used was reduced to a few tones to create a pictorial connection between the portraits, and less saturated, as suggested by the filtered light of those days Neyde spent in Buenos Aires.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I am an artist interested in the everyday situations of urban life, observing people passing by, and I translate these snapshots mainly through painting. I record these scenes in a world where people live increasingly individual lives, I approach strangers in public places, talk about my work and ask for their participation. Through the work I create a memory, I record an existence.

The Latin America's Paris

Buenos Aires is Argentine Republic's capital city. With 15,000,000 inhabitants, it is one of the largest cities in Latin America and one of the 10 most populous urban centers in the world. Its cosmopolitan and urban character vibrates to the rhythm of a great cultural offer that includes monuments, churches, museums, art galleries, opera, music and theaters; squares, parks and gardens with old groves; characteristic neighborhoods; large shopping centers and fairs. Here we also find a very good lodging facilities, with accommodation ranging from hostels to five-star hotels of the main international chains. Buenos Aires also show off about its variety of restaurants with all the cuisines of the world, as well as to have cafes and flower kiosks on every corner.

A neighborhood founded on the Jesuit farms in the 17th century

We are located in Colegiales neighborhood where the tree-lined streets, some of which still have their original cobblestones, invite you to walk. Although the apartment buildings advance, low houses still predominate. It is a district of the city where about 20 TV production companies, design studios, artist workshops and the Rock&Pop radio have been located. The neighborhood also has six squares, one of which pays homage to Mafalda, the Flea Market, shops, restaurants and cafes like its neighboring Barrios de Palermo and Belgrano, with which it limits.
