Thiago Honório
Thiago Honório’s research starts from a transdisciplinary matrix. It is fueled by a transit between the ordinary and the extraordinary, by an encounter of different temporalities from the experience between the private and the public spheres, from different kinds of knowledge and exchanges, based on procedures such as dislocations, collections, appropriations, cuts and assemblies.
Thiago Honório has exhibited work at Museu de Arte de São Paulo – MASP; Galeria Luisa Strina, São Paulo; and Museu de Arte da Pampulha, Belo Horizonte, among others.
