CORA CORALINA
Cora Coralina - Expanded Cubes Series by Carlos Rezende.
Cora Coralina is an extensive project of sculptures by Carlos Rezende based on the poetry of brazilian writer Cora Coralina (1889-1985) and the studies on the geometrical figure of the cube after the researching of the conceptual artist Sol Lewitt (1928-2007) in which Rezende was collaborator.

EXPANDED CUBES, ORIGINS
Sol Lewitt, an American artist (1928-2007), exponent of the Conceptual and Minimalist Art Movement created a project where he studies and implements in the territory of art geometry math of Cubes, initially in his extensive series called Incomplete Open Cubes, later in their Closed Cubes, a late work by Lewitt. The latest large-format closed cubes, constructed of wood, Lewitt made drawings on their surface, stamping the big cubes. Cora Coralina, expanded cubes - small formats series. Expanded Cubes is a series of graphic works and sculptures where I record considerations of various kinds of things, poems, photographs, collages, drawings, taken from my album of personal anthology- review of the brazilian Baroque, visual poems, erotic photographs on the edge of pornography, anatomical charts, cutouts and colorful cards.
Expanded cubes are emancipated engravings, midway between the graphical and paper sculpture. Physical media of a collection of images created to serve the project as Cifra (concrete poems), Anatomies as Landscapes, drawings, photographs and literary texts from the work resulted from my research at Institute of Anatomical Research of UNESP (Universidade Estadual Paulista), under the guidance of Prof. Ronaldo Vaz de Carvalho.
