Coletivo MUDA
Bio
Founded by the architects Diego Uribbe, Duke Capellão and Rodrigo Kalache, and the designers Bruna Vieira and João Tolentino in 2010, Coletivo MUDA sees the city as an overhaul laboratory. MUDA derives from mudar, "to change" in Portuguese. And as a matter of fact, associated with street art, their spatial interventions changed the nature of Rio de Janeiro, where now public spaces throughout the city stage their various compositions.
Statement
Their art is essentially focused in the experimentation and on the development of sui generis panels, coloured compositions of classic tiles and contemporary graphics that result in captivating and abstract aesthetics. We can think of Coletivo MUDA’s art as a tribute to famous Brazilian muralists such as Athos Bulcão and Paulo Werneck, or as a reference to artists such as Alfredo Volpi and Geraldo de Barros.
