Rivane Neuenschwander wurde am ...1967 in Brasilien geboren und lebt in São Paolo.
"Rivane Neuenschwander has created three independent works for her installation at Portikus entitled "Spell". The central spatial sculpture she displays is a Scrabble game made of cardboard as well as carved oranges and grapefruits inviting the viewers to create their own words. In a series of works on the wall, Neuenschwander spells out the alphabet in the form of spices, from açafrão, black pepper and colorífico to zattar. This results in an alphabet of aromas which, in their fleetingness but also their free associations, reveal the conventions of language as an hierarchical construction of signs, phonemes, morphemes, words and sentences. In an especially constructed projection room on the rear side of the exhibition hall, Rivane Neuenschwander will additionally show a film in which ants carry small banners with the inscription "Word" resp. "World"." (http://www.portikus.de/ArchiveA0110.html)
