The practice of Belgian artist Dennis Tyfus (*1979, Antwerp) traverses drawing, painting, radioshows, installations and performance, much of which is produced under the banner of Ultra Eczema, his long-running record label and publishing arm.
Daily experience and humour are central to Tyfus’ work. Several weeks prior to arriving in São Paulo, he was interviewed and photographed by a Belgian magazine. Tyfus then proposed to produce a collage out of the photos, rather than the magazine using the original portraits. The resultant artwork led to the title for the exhibition at KUNSTHALLE São Paulo – «Do you want to go on a date with me? … No? … Let’s just be friends, Then?» – and to a fictional dialogue between two imaginary protagonists.
The title forms the basis for a number of works in the exhibition, Tyfus’ first solo show in Brazil: a publication (Ultra Eczema 203), sculptures, oil paintings and a specially-recorded soundtrack, all of which play out scenarios originating from the aforementioned dialogue.

We invited Leandro Muniz to write about the latest exhibition by Igi Lola Ayedún, artist and founder of the HOA gallery in Brazil. In the hatching of a dream, the materialization of the fantasy that has surrounded the artist in these last 6 years of artistic research is present.
