After London, the Marsèlleria gallery in Milan presents for the first time in Italy “Spacemen/Cavemen”, an installation by Brazilian collective Chelpa Ferro. Composed by artists Barrão, Luiz Zerbini and Sergio Mekler, the group was born in 1995 in Rio De Janeiro, named after an old colloquial Portuguese term for money.

Their research explores the plasticity of the sound and its dynamics through sculptures, objects, installations and music performances that challenge the senses of the viewer by using everyday objects. The insert of technological elements on common materials, also obsolete ones, gives them a new sense and a new voice, creating a confusion in the recognition of sense, time and space coordinates in which the work could fit.
