Galeria Jaqueline Martins

Founded in São Paulo in 2011, Galeria Jaqueline Martins is a space for research, documentation and presentation of contemporary artistic production. It proposes collaborative curatorial strategies that foster dialogue between different generations and different cultural perspectives. One of its guiding principles is the encouragement of research-oriented conceptualist practices characterized by critical, even subversive, approaches. Since its inauguration, the gallery has developed a special program around the investigation of artistic productions carried out during the Brazilian military period – more specifically from the 1970s and 1980s. It promotes a historical revision of processes grounded on strong intellectual resistance, audacity and commitment to art and which transformed the artistic practice in the country, but nonetheless were neglected throughout the last decades.

By integrating research and practice that confront the contemporary scene by means of its exhibition program, the gallery encourages the revival of the debate that conceives of artistic actions as contact zones for the exercise of aesthetic, social and political change. In 2020 the gallery opened its second exhibition space, in Brussels, aiming to expand our presence in Europe and to develop a multidisciplinary program that will foster connections between our artists and Brazilian art practices in an international context.

Galeria Jaqueline Martins is proud to present a selection of historical works by Hudinilson Jr. (Brazil, 1957-2013) and new works by Regina Parra (Brazil, 1984) in a unique dialogue contemplating body and desire.

Hudinilson Jr.

Hudinilson Jr. was one of the most important Brazilian artists of his generation, influencing the entire Brazilian artistic scene, not only through his personal work - produced between the 70s and 2000s - but also because of his active role as a catalysing personality of artist groups and experimental exhibitions.

In recent years, Hudinilson Jr’s work has been featured in important group exhibitions such as Histórias da Sexualidade - MASP (São Paulo), Copyart in Brazil - 1970-1990 (University of San Diego), The Matter of Photography in Americas (Stanford University) , Every Moment Counts—AIDS and its Feelings (Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Norway), United by AIDS (Migros Museum, Switzerland), Glasgow International 2014 to the 31st Bienal Internacional de São Paulo. This year, the artist is confirmed for the 16th Lyon Biennale: manifesto of fragility.

His work is part of important collections, such as: MoMA (New York, USA), Cantor Center for Visual Arts (Stanford University, USA), Reina Sofia Museum (Madrid, Spain), Migros Museum (Zurich, Switzerland), MAGA Museo d’Arte (Gallarate, Italy), MALBA (Buenos Aires, Argentina), MASP (São Paulo, Brazil), Pinacoteca do Estado (São Paulo, Brazil), Museum of Modern Art (São Paulo, Brazil) and the USP Museum of Contemporary Art ( Sao Paulo, Brazil).

Regina Parra

Since 2005, Regina Parra, through painting, performance, video, and installation, has explored the tension between oppression and rebellion. Her early research focused on colonialism and the lasting injustices of patriarchy and capitalism, producing works that ask the viewer to rethink official narratives by focusing on the marks left on those who have been forgotten, subjugated, enslaved, and exploited.
