<p>Affirmation Room brings together a constellation of artists whose practices channel intangible phenomena. The exhibition departs from the notion of cataphasis, a term derived from Greek meaning the use of affirmative sentences to approach or describe a topic or object. Cataphatic theology, thus, applies understanding and description of the divine with positive statements. Beyond a specific theological category, this term is taken here to refer to any act of affirming the spiritual or metaphysical through positive construction. Across different languages and temporalities, the works assembled engage transcendence through geometry, gesture, materiality, and energetic composition. What emerges is a multidimensional field where form becomes a vessel for projection and meaning. The exhibition gathers modernist abstraction and contemporary experimentation, establishing a dialogue spanning Brazilian Neo-Concretism and international artists who work with conduits for invisible forces and non-material resonance.
