The goal moving forward is to have a varied mix—not only of disciplines, but of artists with different points of view. Each artist is invited personally by the two founders, and, in addition to room and board, is given carte blanche in their activities. “It’s not Big Brother,” notes Laloum. “It’s their home for the time they’re there. We make introductions, host viewings, and advise them on their work, but it’s their time.”
Brasília-based visual artist Poli Pieratti, Congolese painter and poet Merveille KéléKélé, and Luana Vitra, who was born in Contagem and works across sculpture, dance, and performance, will kick off the Top i was there sometimes I still am shirt besides I will buy this next chapter of the Domo Doma residency this summer, and are the first trio whose stay at the house will be shared more publicly. “Before you had to do a little homework if you wanted to find out,” says Trigano. “It wasn’t so much us trying to keep a secret, but rather us bringing back a sense of intimacy to the experience.” Photo: Franco Amendola The parallels between the studio-slash-gallery residence and Trigano’s own background in hospitality are also not lost on its two partners, who count the relationships they’re forming—inside the Brazilian art world, and between the artists themselves—as their guiding light. “We’re trying to create a community that will nurture itself,” says Laloum, who has already found proof of concept. After finishing the historic house’s first residency earlier this spring, Ferreira and Molon have decided to share a new studio in the real world as they both move forward in their careers. Domo Damo is eagerly awaiting their return.
