Retrospective 2007 - Part II

Casa Claugia magazine

In the second half of the year, during the month of September, the photographers and plastic artists, Fernanda Antoun, Alex Topini and Ale Souto utilized the space of Castelinho38 for the exhibition “Integral-Ação+Espaço+Linguagem”. In the garage Alê Souto presented the installation “Desmanche ao Leo” and in the main room Fernanda Antoun and Alex Topini presented photographs from the project “Ir e Vir” and “Cubos”.

We Closed the year in the company of the musician Mike Marshall and with the party “We Smell Nice”. Marshall enchanted all of us with his inspired music. Cariocas and tourists from various locales had the chance to check out Marshall’s strong and delicate work first hand at the Carioca Cultural Centre.

The “We Smell Nice” party was another success. Aproximately 500 people were here to celebrate the birthdays of the plastic artist Marcos Chaves, DJ Mary Byker, and the one year anniversary of the opening of Castelhino38. Of course, we also said “bye bye to 2007” with much happiness and music!

Now our staff is gearing up for 2008. From January on we will host a varied mix of artists, video projects and even some classes for our guests and local Santa Teresa residents. We’re excited about the New Year and wish our guests-- past, present and future— happiness in the coming 12 months. Happy New Year!
