Mario Costa Santos – Sala de Arte “Contemplação”. Inspirado no movimento Slow Living, que valoriza o tempo e o apreço aos detalhes, este ambiente possui décor leve, confortável e pensado para despertar sensações. No mobiliário, cadeiras de Sérgio Rodrigues e peças contemporâneas de Jader Almeida contrastam com os detalhes originais da arquitetura eclética da casa. As obras de arte trazem um interessante mix de estilos que vai do barroco das estátuas que pertencem ao acervo da residência à arte popular de Veio, passando pelas fotografias de Miguel Rio Branco e instalações de Hilal Sami Hilal. A curadoria é de Heloisa Amaral Peixoto. (André Nazareth/CASACOR)

"I wanted to present an exhibition as if it were inside a house , not a museum . So, one painting can be placed on top of another. One work is placed a little above another. The lighting is that of a house , not a museum. Books are not decorative , they have covers and titles and were chosen by us", said Mario Costa in an interview with Patricia Mayer , managing partner of CASACOR Rio .
