Jarbas Lopes on Camp Street

Join artist Jarbas Lopes tomorrow, Saturday February 23, at 10am, at 828 Camp Street, for the mudding of his “barraco” to the sounds and smells of Brazil.

Rio-based artist Jarbas Lopes spent two weeks in New Orleans last January to build a “barraco”, a small hut made out of bamboo, for Something from Nothing, a group exhibition curated by Dan Cameron that opened at the CAC on January 18 and will remain on view until March 23. Lopes is back in New Orleans this week for the completion of his project with a day-long performance of cooking and dancing while the walls of the barraco are filled with mud.

For more information about the performance, contact Claire Tancons, Associate Curator, at (504) 528 3870 or via email at ctancons@cacno.org.
