A força tridimensional

FAMA is located in the town of Itu, a two-hour drive from São Paulo. The acronym (in Portuguese) stands for Fábrica de Arte Marcos Amaro, an art factory managed by the Marcos Amaro Foundation (FMA), established by art patron Marco Amaro in 2012 on a twenty-thousand-square-meter property of a late-nineteenth-century textile mill. Amaro, the thirty-four-year-old entrepreneur, is himself an artist, art collector and philosophy major, and son of deceased billionaire pilot Captain Rolim Adolfo Amaro (Brazil 1942 - Paraguay 2001) known as "Comandante Rolim", founder of TAM Airlines, now part of the LATAM Group. This is the first exhibition in the spaces of the Marcos Amaro Art Factory of three-dimensional works from the holdings of the Marcos Amaro Collection. Includes tridimensional pieces-a special focus of the founder-by luminaries such as Adriana Varejão, Cildo Meireles, Iole de Freitas, Nuno Ramos, iconoclastic Nelson Leirner and Amaro's close friend, the deceased artist who went by the name of Tunga. The garden also comprises works by renowned artists such as Caciporé Torres, Emanoel Araújo, Gilberto Salvador, José Resende, José Spaniol, Marcos Amaro, Mário Cravo, Mestre Didi, Sergio Romagnolo and Edith Derdyk.
