In Shining Indifference, Luísa Jacinto (b. 1984) challenges the public to enter into a game of observation, sensing and attention to new limits of vision. Between the visible and the invisible, the desire to name what they see and the ignorance of the elements present there, the public is invited to explore this new universe, specially conceived by the artist for the Cinzeiro 8 space. 

Jacinto uses different materials - rubber membrane, thread, fabric, metal, spray, watercolour, loose pigments - and supports, which establish an increasingly fluid boundary between painting, sculpture and installation.

"There is a desire in all these works to affirm the independence of the elements of painting from our feelings and subjectivities - so much so that the artist gives the exhibition that brings them together the title Shining Indifference. But the strong appeal for visitor participation, the strangeness that its elements provoke in us, the fact that the synthetic rubber membrane and the polyester textile challenge us to see through their surfaces, but then deny or hinder that vision, or the fact that they define landscape horizon lines that are subtly broken, all this offers us, in the end, a scene open to everyone's wandering gaze." - Curator João Pinharanda writes in the text of the room sheet accompanying the exhibition.
