"Undulate" featuring Marcia Milhazes, Domenico Salvatore, Yuka Shimizu

Undulate, a collaborative and responsive new performance work by choreographer Marcia Milhazes amid Mistura Sagrada, a solo exhibition of work by her sister, artist Beatriz Milhazes, on view at Pace’s New York gallery through October 29.

Orchestrated in relation to Beatriz Milhazes’s hanging sculpture Gamboa III (2022), the event will feature a solo dancer—Domenico Salvatore—with Brazilian modernist music performed by pianist Yuka Shimizu. Gamboa III incorporates various materials inspired by Carnival props, in part reused, including adornments made from acrylic on foam board, textile, plastic, and plexiglass. Featuring allusions to Brazilian context, popular culture and folk traditions—including the political implications of the celebration of Carnival in Brazil—as well as the country’s Tropicália and Bossa Nova musical movements of the late 1960s, Gamboa III follows Gamboa II (2016), which was displayed for four months in the lobby of the Jewish Museum in New York in 2016. Beatriz Milhazes created her first Gamboa installation in 2008 after her work designing sets for her sister’s contemporary dance company.

Marcia Milhazes’s choreography for this upcoming Pace Live presentation will animate Gamboa III, bringing to life, as she puts it in a new text accompanying the performance, “a unique and distinct system of concrete forms that will enunciate a non-verbal, poetic, organic world.” Salvatore will respond to both the installation and live musical score that includes work by the late Brazilian composers Heitor Villa-Lobos and Ernesto Nazareth. These sounds, Marcia Milhazes writes in her statement, will “unveil a magnetic, loving field” that immerses the audience in Brazilian culture of the past and present.

Beatriz Milhazes's first solo exhibition with our gallery spotlights ten vibrant, large-scale paintings created in 2021 and 2022, as well as a large-scale mobile sculpture. The works in this show exemplify the artist's uncanny ability to forge dynamic, unified choreographies with seemingly disparate elements, patterns, and hues.
