Beginning 8 October 2015, Centro Cultural Pac?o Imperial is pleased to present the first institutional solo exhibition in South America devoted to distinguished Swiss artist Not Vital (b. 1948). Now in his sixties, with a career spanning over four decades, Vital has emerged as a singular thinker whose artistic practice engages philosophies of habitat and material life and produces works that refuse categorization. An incessant traveler and curious explorer, Vital lives a nomadic life that has informed his art and made him a master of the liminal. His work draws inspiration from the many diverse and disparate places he has called home over the years. Raised in the small village of Sent among the soaring mountains of the Engadin valley in Switzerland, he has traveled across the globe, establishing himself first in New York during the 1980s and thereafter in far flung points. Across continents, he has set up studios and constructed architectural sculptures as transient residential dwellings in both urban settings and vast landscapes, from Cairo, Egypt, and Patagonia, Chile, to Agadez, Niger; Beijing, China; Flores, Indonesia; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Let's address one thing, if you are a resident of Mystic Falls ambiguously aged between 18-27, you should be getting on your knees and thanking the heavens that your parents are alive. It's much more shocking to have living relatives in a town of 5 people.
