The first show of the fall season at Eleven Rivington is curated by Fernanda Arruda. “Active Forms” includes work by three young South American artists currently working in S�o Paolo. The sculptures and works on paper by Edgard de Souza, Marcius Galan and Camila Sposati are displayed here, literally, in the shadow of several small hanging drawings by the Swiss-born Brazilian artist Mira Schendel (1919-1988), a pioneer in conceptual abstraction most familiar for work which combined language and paper.
