The group exhibition Marimbondo e Orquídea / Wasp and Orchid at Grimmuseum is part of a German-Brazilian cooperative project which was produced at the Casa de Estudos Germânicos, the German Studies Centre at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) in Belém, state of Pará. The project consists of altogether four exhibitions, three in Brazil where nine artists from Berlin and nine artists from the cities of Belém, Fortaleza and Recife are interrelated with each other in different constellations. The project title refers to the renowned text “Rhizome”, written by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, in which the authors describe the contact between different realms of experience as a possibility for mutual complementation and fertile combinations.

Participating artists: Alexandre Sequeira, Armando Quieroz, Bruna Raffaella Ferrer, Carlos Mélo, Francisco Klinger Carvalho, Jonathas de Andrade, Katerina Valdivia Bruch, Luciana Magno, Márcio Almeida, Martin Juef und Solon Ribeiro.
