Madalena Santos Reinbolt: A Head Full of Planets” showcases 42 textile works and oil paintings, marking the artist’s first solo museum exhibition outside Brazil. Best known for her large-scale “wool paintings” made from vibrant threads, the show features over half of her known works and explores themes of gender, race, and socio-economic dynamics. The exhibition traces Santos Reinbolt’s artistic evolution, beginning in the early 1950s when she worked as a cook for architect Lota de Macedo Soares and poet Elizabeth Bishop. Self-taught, Santos Reinbolt started her embroidery practice in the mid-1960s, creating the works that earned her recognition. Debuting at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) in 2022, the exhibition has been further contextualized for its presentation at AFAM, curated by Valérie Rousseau and Dylan Blau Edelstein. BACC member Art in Brackets™, represented by Fernanda Mazzuco and Lu Solano, serves on the exhibition’s Advisory Committee by invitation of the American Folk Art Museum.
