Três convites do Capacete
Em 2010,ano em que o Capacete organizou as publicações da Bienal de São Paulo, fui convidado pelo Helmut para participar de uma serié de palestras e atividades no Teatro Arena. Decidi realizar uma idéia de 1984 e fazer  uma trilha sonora para uma palestra. Convidei Lisette Lagnado para contribuir com texto e leitura  e Pedro Sá e Vivian Caccurri para tocarem comigo. Lisette nos  forneceu o seu texto “Desvios de la deriva”. Estudamos o ensaio e organizamos os sons de acordo com o desenvolvimento do argumento, espelhando e contrastando com suas idíéias e com sua pontuação e síntaxe .
Para deixar claro a função da música como trilha,pelo menos para mim, adaptamos o tema de”Le Mepris” (Desprezo) do Jean Luc Godard. Assumimos como modelo uma trilha que sem deixar de intensificar ou pelo menos sinalizar emoções cria dúvidas e ambiguidades sobre aquilo a que se subordina.
Esta performance foi repetida no Teatro Ipanema em 2013
Helmut me convidou para fazer uma publicação. Demorei par ter um idéia. Dois artistas residentes em Salvador, Joãozito Pereira e Lanussi Pasquali, estavam envolvidos na recuperação do então fechado Bar Coaty da arquiteta Lina Bo Bardi. Joãozito sugeriu que fizessemos alguma coisa que envolvesse o Coaty. Pensei em fazer um livro refletindo sobre uma serie de desfiles que venho fazendo, escrevendo  e desenhando sobre fotos dos desfiles. Joãozito tinha adiquirido uma escultura da Maria Martins  num sebo em São Paulo . Pensamos em levar la para encontrar a Lina.Daí surgiu a idéia de tomar emprestado do Museu de Arte Moderna da Bahia o “Boi” da Tarsila Amaral. Juntando uma outra peça da coleção de João e Lanussi, uma cabra daSonia Ebling, fariamos um pequeno encontro de  tres artistas brasileiras com a Lina. Convidei outros amigos para aparecerm nas fotos, Nívea Luz e James   e Ícaro Sá. As fotos foram feitas por Mayra Lins,por Joãozito e por mim. Não consegui fazer das fotos um livro que me satisfizesse. O ano passado perdemos Joãozito.  Completaremos o livro numa homenagem a ele.
O Capacete tambem me chamou para fazer duas falas de artista, uma na sua antiga residencia no apartamento na Rua do Russel atrás da praça onde fica a estátua de São Sebastião e a outra na sua nova sede na  Rua Benjamin Constant. Nesta segunda dividi a mesa com Anri Sala.

Luca Frei, born 1976 in Lugano, Switzerland, lives and works in Malmö, Sweden. His work, which includes a wide range of media such as drawing, collage, painting, installation, performance, video, and photography, often develops in response to a specific context in the form of architectural interventions, narrative environments or exhibition structures that invite public participation and dialogue. His consistent thematic preoccupations encompass the measurement of time, the relationship between the body and architecture, as well as the juxtaposition of private and public spaces.

“It has been great to be able to be at Capacite and be part of it, you should be proud of what you have accomplished in these 20 years!! Many challenges of course, but what a great experience this has been for so many people!”

I am currently based in Berlin and organize curatorial projects here and abroad independently.

“Before Capacete I sporadically had contact with the art world already, but had no further interest to work in the arts professionally. That changed after my time in Rio de Janeiro. I organized an exhibition with the support of Helmut in Lidice and started to work as an assistant for Daniel Steegmann Mangrané. The numerous encounters with artists, curators and theorists from all over the world continuously shaped my interest in a more complex and critical approach to understand the world we live in. I remain grateful for the 3 years that I accompanied Capacete’s activities and I am extremely happy for all the dear friends that I made during that time. Obrigado a todxs”

“Paraíso Ocupado is a reconstruction of a failed modernist plan for an urban center located in the West zone of Rio de Janeiro. This plan, designed by Oscar Niemeyer, was officially approved in 1970 and served as inspiration for Lúcio Costa’s Pilot Plan for the greater region. All the documents in the exhibition are part of an abandoned archive found in the ruin of one of the three actually constructed circular towers. A website with the digitalized documents was launched with the exhibition, so the material became accessible to the public. This precedes the ultimate objective of Paraíso Ocupado: the establishment of a museum concerned with the urbanization history of Barra da Tijuca.”

“I teach at UFMG since 2002. In 2018 I will be living in Geneva, in a sabbatical leave. The making of my book was supported by Helmut, who followed up the construction, supportingly, until the end. The research was done for over a year in Geneva, and it is presented in the introduction of the book itself: it is a project of translation, that later developed in an exhibition in São Paulo, where the book played a main role. The work was done away from Rio and somewhat autonomously from Capacete’s space, and I came to Rio to launch it and later do debate about it. There was a nice engagement/ debate after the presentation and it was of course, pleasant as usual, with great culinary, thought especially for the day. I am thankful to Helmut, to have supported such adventurous enterprise, which involved a long production. The book came out as part of the series Livro para…”
